you ask me
to love myself
through you
to use you as
a mirror
and undress
for me to look
at the flowing
curves running
up and down my
torso and legs
to see the varied
hues of pigment
that has come from
generations of lovers
entwining their genes
to give me this flesh
you ask me to look
at the constellations
scattered across my flesh
stars that help you
navigate to my heart
you ask me to look
at the scars that glimmer
reflecting those past
lessons learned hard
in this you light a candle
to help guide me
across the bridge
from my heart to my self
