Bloom

blooming

you are making a poem out of me

one that carefully crafts your love

in eloquent words

equally messy, ones that have been hurt

words shown mercy through the hard times

ones shown grace.

ones that take every syllable

and form them to your perfect face

the struggles, the highs

the falls and the flys

all of them written out —

all of them brought to life

a life full of you and all it’s meant to be

yes, here you are

making a poem out of me.
