At First, It Seemed...

Some days she woke up in a body 
that wasn't hers, in a space 
she'd never been before and heard
a voice: I am here to test you.

It took her weapons: her heart, her mind,
her vocal chords. And like a teacher, its shadow 
followed her to the ends of the earth 
or at least to the corners of her world 

whispering

I have loved you more
than you are worth.
