Blessings can be disguised, indeed. Michelle Liew

šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹

Gold against my skin,

Its touch cool, assuring,

Bringing fortune as it dropped.

šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹

Then came silver,

Wrapping, a shawl,

Comfort around my head.

šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹

Then-rust fell.

šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹

The sky turned sour.

Petals turned black.

I had thought the rain knew my heart.

šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸŒ¹
