michelle-campbell - Hello Poetry

Enticing poppy, an unwitting aid, one vial of your blood they **** to accrue. I’ve never felt you course deep through my veins yet, my soul's tarnished, family destroyed. **** you, sweet flower, repossess your gift that eats from within. We’ve no want for the paltry donation encased in syringe.

My dense brow, cursed hairs dark with your DNA. I sit, stare, dare not pluck a single follicle. I see the blatant looks; they don’t ask, but I know secretly they wonder why the girl with wild brows would keep them. But you know, wherever you may be. You’ll see my sacrifice: fashion for loyalty, looks for love.

Spherical rainbow, a smile-inducing giggle-fit, floats carefree. Your innocent breath, the part of you I long to keep preserved, fills it-- makes it so. The iridescent colors swirl around before meeting tiny outstretched fingers.
