I Thought.

I thought when you searched me for cavities,

You were finding what you needed to fill.

I thought when you traced my body for broken skin

You were searching for what to sew up again.

I thought when you held my heart in your hand,

You were weighing the fragility of my soul.

I thought when you said you loved me,

You were healing the wrong in my life.

I thought you were trying to make me a better me

I thought you were making me a better me.

But you were building me up to push me down.

And you haven’t even apologized for that.
