I think I love you, I say,
and he turns on the gaslight.
He makes me think of it all differently.
The Polaroid of my naked body was a bookmark
and he just used me to find his place.
Our slow dancing in the kitchen was because of the music,
not because he wanted to keep me close.
I see it clearly now.
I look at the ceiling,
the light above the stove
and wonder if it feels burnt out too.

You are not broken, you’re becoming
How they make you feel
says a lot about them
and nothing about you.
Trust me when I say someone who makes you question
if you are worthy of being loved
is not worthy of being loved by you.
