Best Poems Written by Charlie Edwards

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
