Wrapping

You couldn’t love
This ugly
Or so I thought
So I attacked
The ugly
I thought
You could see
Tore at the outside
Ripped at my skin
Thinking just one thought
That then you’d want me
You sought
To unwrap me
To make me believe
Told me the wrapping
Was a worthless need
But it striped me down
And left me
Too bare
And bare is not
Where I wanted to be
For my soul is dark
And not for your eyes
Best you don’t look there
For I can’t be healed
