_{lover asked me about the purple
that curved and stretched along
my legs and thighs
bold and bruised against my skin.

i told him
'they're stretch marks'

he ran his fingers along them
and felt them raised
and smooth
but some were rough
and still sore to the touch.
but he didn't question.
just kissed them
and told me he loved me.

he doesnt need to know that i tore myself open
over and over trying to find
this feeling and tear it out of me
he doesn't need to know that.}
