My husband loves meDespite
My husband loves me
Despite what everyone says
I know he loves me
There’s a special feeling when our skin makes contact
Breast to breast, nose to nose, cheek to fist
He shows the world his love for me
My husband paints my body the color of love
Shades of blue and green that would make Poseidon jealous
Hues of red that remind God himself of the hidden wonders He put into this world
And you wonder why our blood is hidden?
Such beautiful colors he only wants to share with me
He tells me to see how beautiful I am
Only he appreciates my inner beauty
The anger he feels is only jealousy
The PDA, Painful Display of Affection I receive is only temporary
How dare another man eyeball me?
I am his property
Look at how infinite his love is
Look at how lucky I am
Have you ever seen a man love his wife so much that he beats the rhythm of their wedding song into her skin?
So I never forget the lyrics he tells me
He’s such a romantic
Even when he hugs me, he makes sure to grab me tight
So I won’t leave him
He makes me stare him in the eyes
So I never deceive him
So he can look into my soul and know me inside and out
He says the only reason he inflicts pain is because he wants to recognize me post apocalypse
The only reason he administers tears is so he can see his reflection in them
So we truly become mirror images of one another
He falls in love with his reflection almost as much as Narcissus fell in love with his own
When my bones crack, he envisions shackles opening
My freedom is a burden
He’s lifting my burden
Would your husband do that for you?
I don’t have to think anymore when I’m with him
Don’t have to worry “my pretty little head”
I shouldn’t even worry about breathing
About living
Why bother living when he’s suffocating the life out of me?
I mean the pain
I mean the guilt
I mean the tears
I mean I’m sorry
Baby, please, just don’t beat me anymore
When I’m with my husband I don’t have to be my own person
He overshadows me until we truly become one
