Bloom

There’s nothing I’d like more
Than to peel back your delicate petals
One by one
As you open your tender heart to me
As a flower to the blazing sun
 
Have no fear—
Trouble me with your every tear
And I will hang on to every single drop
As if it were your last, my dear
 
I want to hear your deepest thoughts
And the parts of you that make you whole
To feel the drum of your beating heart
And see the secrets of your soul
 
Speak to me the essence of you
Of all the beautiful things you do
Sing me the sweetest of melodies
And the most mournful of elegies too
 
You were always the type of woman
Who could light up an entire room,
And I’d be blinded by your light…
For a chance to watch you bloom
