Tender and tattered..

indelibly marked
bruised through to the bones 
let it scar you beautifully 
helping you grow 
teaching and changing 
you aren’t alone..
wash away darkness
marking you new..
let my fingers paint a picture 
let me run them over you 
making ugly beautiful 
in ways we could know..
let’s fall into the sun
shine brighter than ever before 
letting the warmth soothe the tattered parts of your soul
as you lay your heart upon
promises that can make you whole..
