RESURRECTED

"Love me," she says.

"Not the parts of me that smile and shine,

but the parts of me that are haunted.

The parts where the ghosts of my past

echo as they rattle chains

down the corridors of my heart

and frighten most who enter.

Love the parts of me that are in limbo.....

too alive to bury, too dead to feel.

Love me," she says,

"and I just might be resurrected."
