About This Poem

Scalded Soul

A scalded soul 
Open and bottomless
Like a black hole

Terrifying hours..
One heart, one mind opens
Should I give her these flowers..?

    A good one about a guy scarred from a previous relationship. Yes, he should give the flowers. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!!!
