at night even when the
other side of the bed is empty.
Maya Angelou says anger
burns it all clean
and so I am clean and new
after I receive your words--
I will take the blame for you
because you whisper that
I am beautiful
even when the salt from my tears
is branding my skin.
And I will keep believing you
until there are no words left,
until there is no more
wrong that I can do,
until Mother Nature runs her course
and you can no longer tell me I am
beautiful.
