The Tale of the Whiskey Dipped Flower
Every poem I wrote,
I wrote for you;
To try and erase
The wounds you left.
Today
I am writing for me,
Because I have realized
That these wounds will never
Disappear.
They will stay.
They will scar.
And they will be beautiful.
They will be gashes
In my flower petal skin
Sealed with gold,
Lacing me back together.
They will spill sunlight
And music
And all the venom
That you have filled me with
Will dissolve.
I will be new.
I will be fresh.
I will grow new
Flower petal skin.
There is no more whiskey
Left in my blood;
There is no more reason
To beg you to come home.
I am not a child,
I am
A woman king;
A flower who has been
Whiskey dipped.
And, regardless,
I have bloomed.
