Love Poem: Your Dangers Are Many

Your Dangers Are Many

With spiteful tongue
you tried to lick 
the kindness
from my bones.

You squeezed
my heart dry,
and left me 
wanting you,
needing you …

You planted
your seed deep
and a flower
grew inside me.

With thorns
for petals,
you left your mark,
and I’m compelled 
to water you.
