Reborn

by supersteffy

A character study poem written from Marik Ishtar's perspective. Implied Thiefshipping. I'm not used to writing poetry, so any and all critique is appreciated-that includes suggestions on how to better form the poem!

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."

― Kahlil Gibran

Reborn

Lips stir

breathing life into a mummified heart.

Fingers peel away the wrappings,

revealing the Braille on my back.

My story is writ in a violent script

for him alone to decipher.

For he alone knows

what it is to be broken.
