This Is Not A Love Poem

my skin is still laced with
mirror shards
from the day I lost
the fight
with the bile I had been
choking down

I can be hard like
dragon scales
and I will never let you
love me
as darkly, deeply as I
hate myself

so go ahead, I
dare you
watch me cut and drag
myself apart
and try to tell me you still
want me

(I will not believe you for a second
 I am rolling in the muck of my self-loathing
 and I would rather die than bathe)
