My body comes with instructions
Don’t touch me there
Kind words, she’s fragile
It’s hard to be so breakable
Made of glass
Tip-toe around me, eggshells
Memories of foreign skin
Rougher times
Where she had to fight not to scream
Creepy crawly snakes
That are still wrapped around her body
Worms that nestle themselves in her ear
Worthless
Liar
Stupid
Fully undressed
She looks like a stranger
She can still see him behind her in the mirror
