you held me
while I prayed
you left
and I stayed

my mind
holds me
tighter
closer
stronger
harder
more lovingly

than you ever did

my heart remains
inside a glass container
in plain sight
waiting
waiting
waiting
for you to see it
for you to break it

my body
can be broken
my virginity
can be stolen.

my soul
isn't here
anymore.
