"If you have to ask what it symbolizes, then it didn't"


burden

as I reach unreliable

of everything

now revealing flesh

hoping to wound

 

no

my love will heal

bruises, breaks, and scrapes,

scars of a lifelong wound

 

my knowing secret

keep me hostage

Just a blackout poem from Neil Shusterman's Bruiser. Written late at night about my feelings towards vulnerability in love.
