You're My Flower

I want to take the bits of you I love

And press them like flowers

Between the pages of my favorite book

And I want to take all the scraps

That you dislike yourself

And display them on my refrigerator

To show you I'm still proud

Of the person you are

And the person you are becoming

But most of all, I want to spin you like a globe

And drag my finger across til it stops

To discover the pieces of you

That you've yet to reveal to anyone else

I want to wrap them up in linen

And place them in an old cigar box

I'd tuck it away safely

In the top drawer of my bedside table

So you know I'll never let

Those pieces of you go

Because when you share

Hidden parts of yourself

With someone else

You're trusting that person

To hold the secret sections

Of your heart

And to love the bits

You thought

Were unlovable
