I kiss her scars because
they make her beautiful.
They are drawings that
she made upon herself
to help her with the pain.
In colors of black red
white and steel grey.
So much suffering expressed
within those lines she
drew upon her skin.
An artist who didn’t know
how to express herself
with art or poetry.
So she used the only
canvas that she had.
Then painted a masterpiece
of pain and loss deep
into her bones.
And so I kiss her scars
because they make her
beautiful.
