My body took a walk the other night.
Without me.
By all accounts she meant no harm
And demonstrated wit and charm
Enough
To convince all parties
She was me
My body had something she wanted
Without me
She didn’t mince a single word
Or I guess it’s what I’ve heard
Since
She took my eyes when she was
Being me
My body swam in anesthetic
Without me
Numb she laughed for more abuse
But now the pain of every bruise
Each tear and consequence
Belong to me
My body took a lover
Without me
She used my face, my lips, my smile
And MY lover so beguiled
That now he keeps comparing her
To me
