A Million Others

Lost between sheets
You held my hand
You touched my skin and said
You didn't feel a thing

Lost in desire
You looked at me
You traced my ribs and said
My body was like a million others

I said yes
I find it hard
To feel it as a part of me
To live inside it and just be

When I see it on all the walls
In all of the streets
Dressed up and stripped down
To not look like me

Still, I gave you my body
With all its tricks
Its crevices
And breakages
And all I could commit

I gave you my body
In exchange for yours
So I could feel free

And you said you felt sick
