True Lovers
Those who abandon you for your wounds are not true lovers.
Your wounds only unveil their brokenness, which they prefer covered.
Save yourself for the real ones
who will see your gorgeousness with your cracks
and show you proudly their darkness and light
and hold you preciously as you embrace them,
who will gently caress your scars as you soothingly balm theirs,
with whom loving, nay living is a sweet and salty joy
of witnessing each other heal from our wounds
and celebrating our growing into wholeness.
