Sunburnt Poem by Karen Touzalin

Sunburnt



Once,
an image of you burned bright,
dazzling my eyes like a
6 am sunrise

I welcomed
your warmth,
blossoming beneath your gaze
like a sunflower
eagerly exploding in to
sunlight

But inevitably,
the burns you left behind
sear my skin
long after your sunset
has raged.
