of firsts and lasts
October 1, 2018
the first time i let you hold me
it was my very own resurrection day
you raised me up
gave me new skin
baby pink and free of scars
i always wondered why
you touched me so sweetly
i wondered until the first time
you poured your honey words
into the fresh scars you left on my skin
every new hit was a realization
a tug toward consciousness
and god help you
because when you need it
i will not be there to resurrect you
