Stars and Scars

You turned my scars into constellations
Tracing invisible lines between the marks of my past

Using your lips to kiss my deepest pain
Terraforming the landscape of my hurts into something beautiful

Now my fingertips trace all the places you have been
I follow the stars you carved into my skin

Savoring the specter of you
Relishing in the love you gave me

I used to think this body was wasted space
But now I am a universe
