i shouldn't apologize,
but i'm sorry
that i taste so much
of sandpaper and saltwater.
most of my kisses
up to this point
have been tied up and weighed down
by pale promises and outdated alcohol.
i've spent months
stuffing mirrors into my stomach
to see who i am
beneath my skin
and become a reflection
of her
instead of him.
i am moving on
and my love for him is gone,
but there are days that i awaken
shaken
by processions of nightmares,
and under my breath i swear
they're there
because he doesn't whisper
"sweet dreams" in my ear
anymore.
i'm not asking you to fix me.
i'm just asking you
to maybe
hold my hands steady
as i sew up these searing wounds
and i paint the sunset onto my skin
and i find myself beautiful again
and i have the strength to give again.

I thought that was so deep and a beautiful image!!!
But the whole thing is deep too; when I read this I feel so many strong, intense emotions!
It's so mature, and all the images you used are outstanding!!
I wish I were this good at expressing myself!!!!
A stunning work!
