Red Heated rash,
stinging to the touch.
Aching to the core,
and burning through your skin.
Denial,
Betrayal,
Acceptance.
Then it starts to peel.
The rash will eradicate,
the burn will be no more,
the pain will peel away.
The skin will be renewed,
the red now replaced with fleshy pink,
and the ache now a dull pain.
But the heart remains broken,
it's love now shattered,
the inside torn,
and the ligaments now severed.
The Ache is Diminished,
But the burn is forever.
Sun Burn: Please understand the representation of the sunburn. (Hint: It's not really a sunburn.)
