yours and mine

people.
they form us
molding softly
with the gentle touch of a warm hand
tenderness, trinkets of truth
the swords edge through an already broken heart
stones to flesh
my malible skin
exposed
too long in the radiant light
white as snow, likely to be burned.
we are all the same
painstaking journeys
the ones to which we were born
and chose anew each day
my curse, life's richest blessing
the people who hold me, and mold me.
