Poems
Jul 2023
the price of beauty
i step into the shower
picking shards of glass off my palms
delicately undress the wounds on my legs
cold water pours
i rest my purple, ****** fingers against the shower stall
and douse myself in rose-scented soap
scrubbing what skin remained
see my black eyes in the broken mirror
as i wipe my face off.
an arsenal to fix the mess.
loving arms wait outside the door
but my cold hands tremble on the ****
bruises wrapped in a tight dress
iād lie gorgeous in a casket
and finally rest.
