"I love you"
In those frilly white shorts
I was admirable
Sexually sought after
And ogled
A pawn in the game
Only he would win
Held under a dictatorship
Of nakedness and fear
Fear I wouldn't have someone saying “I love you”
Even if all he loved
Was the way my shirt looking over my head
Or how I would do whatever he wanted as long as he stayed
Even if it meant sending that picture
Because maybe if I posed the right way
He would say the words
That made it easier to look in the mirror
