Loved Still

when i was a teenager
and I'd get a new boyfriend
the day after
the day after
the big kiss
or the big
fuck
or the big whatever
the trade that I made
that brought
him
into me

the day after
always
I'd be sick
from school

didn't want to be seen
for him to see
me

this encounter
this fresh opening
brought up
all my longing
and fear

was I loved?
and now my life
since then
all of it

I swear
searching
for evidence
that
I am
loved
still
