i will never understand<br /> why you held me<br /> if you were afraid of warmth<br /> <br /> you should have known<br /> i was fire<br /> <br /> - Rupi Kaur , the sun and her flowers



I was numb

frozen,

unseeing,

unfeeling,

My hand came away from me

only half of me registers

that it’s covered in

thick , potent, coppery….


The thorns were once green

and its petals have only become darker

It falls from my grasp

thuds against the earth

splashes red across the frost

My stomach burns

My head fills with

giddy bliss


It’s sick

I feel alive again
