Kisses
You never hit me but you still left wounds
Wounds that lasted longer than you stuck around
Cuts that bled for months
A heart that took years to heal was all I was left with
But somebody came around and started patching me up
He put bandaids on all of my scrapes and cuts
He kissed each tear away
He asked to see all of me
And unlike you he didn’t just mean naked.
He wanted me to show him the parts of me that I hid from the world
He traced his finger over every stretch mark
He kissed every scar
He tells me I’m beautiful
He makes me feel like I walk on air
He shows me a love I have never experienced
