Nothing Gold Can Stay

The first night I lay
next to her
I was on my belly
She lifted my shirt and
saw my scars

I had told her about them
      that they were some of my
greatest achievements
and she kissed them
as if they were
hers

I knew then
I would always
have love
in my heart
for this woman
       whose scars
       outstretched mine
       without being seen

This never stopped me
from trying to kiss them
too

Trying to heal them
with my lips and ears
and whole lot of my time
