As much as it is the kindness of a person
Barely even a thought
The day you had in months past
Mistakes made unforgiven
That linger in your bones
You choke on self hatred
Like glass in your throat
being seen and seeing
Past face value, to skeletons that stand alone
Sweat and tears for a smile
For a day
For a minute all the same
To be known is warmth
And being understood is love
Taken for your skeletons
And cherished anyway
