You draw circles onto my skin
Without my consent
As if my body were a canvas to your chaos
The longer I stare at them
The more ugly they seem
Morphing into my fears
So I don't look at my body these days
I pull my sleeves down
And keep my eyes up
Pretend they aren't there
Until I feel another tingle
Another reminder of the demons
I cannot see
But sure enough they're there
Cruising through my blood as if they belong
You, don't belong here
So stop running your fingers down my skin
Stop leaving traces of your indiscretions embedded in my cells
Make haste
And be gone
There is no mystery here
I am not lost.
