* This placed second and I am ridiculously excited! Thanks for reading!
My insecurities are red and full of pain. I wear them like a sleeve carved into flesh.
Always bleeding.
Always growing.
No one will ever know the real me.
No one will ever want me.
No one will ever even try.
He takes my hand.
His love is solid black. He wears it like a tattoo scrawled up his arm.
Never gray.
Never wavering.
He has the faith in me I never have.
He sees a beauty I forgot long ago.
He loves me; I'm trying to remember how.
I hold his hand and open my heart.
Our love will heal my wounds, leaving bright white scars remind me of who I was and who he helped me become.
