Before it burrows itself into my cells.
It was all so filthy,
all the time.
Every hug from behind,
or kiss on my lips.
Every time our lips touched, I could feel you
kissing someone else.
I have never felt more like a machine than I did that evening
on that mattress,
on that floor,
in that room,
under those sheets,
by that window,
underneath that ceiling,
next to
you.
I hate not being clothed,
but you made me lie bare anyways.
I was so cold.
It was systemic-
starting in my heart,
seething through my veins.....
