Skin.
Once burned, twice shy,
Rough and calloused,
Held close by gentle hands.
Hands.
Once searing, now soft,
Soothing deadened skin,
Apology in every touch.
Fingers.
Once sharpened by strife,
Stroking with the reverence of love,
Healing with the resolve of regret.
Hearts.
Once closed off,
Now unfurl like two flowers under
The golden glow of another's warmth.
