My Healthy Man


Because I love you 

I won’t beat you black and blue

Instead I will feed you blue bell

And call you baby boo.

Because I love you 

I won’t be your anvil 

Or your anthill.

Constantly weighing you down 

And spreading fire

From your feet to your crown.

Instead I will lift you up

Present the veil 

And not even quill.

Just give you crazy ideas.

Because I love you

I will be upfront 

So you won’t have to hunt 

Because that only causes 

Grunts.

And that’s why I will remind you

That I ain’t lying to you.

I’m right here 

Giving my time to you.

Because I love you

I’m right here 

With only you.
