Missed Connections

Walmart check out
You had goldfish and a pregnancy test
I noticed how beautiful you were
And then the scars
So many scars
And not the timid ones
Not the faint lines
That I bear now hidden
By time and tattoos
Raised
Flesh colored
Bulging
Lines
They must have been
So deep
I wonder if you
Look at them now
And see then
If your heart follows
Your eyes 
Do lovers trace
Fingers over them
Drawing those lines
Over and over again
Asking questions
But never looking
For answers
Do people stare
When you bare yourself
Making judgements
About how ridiculous
You must be
Must have been
Did you run out of room
Are your thighs
Marked
Heavy
Scarred
Weighed down
With open wounds
Still
Are you ashamed?
