Permit me to be in proximity to you for the rest of my life.
Entwine with me, your very thoughts & emotions.
Confess devotion to your life, children, work, to us.
Admit that we are meant to be in relationship, whatever that may look like.
Surrender with me, to things we cannot change.
Aspire to change those things we can.
Find with me, the wisdom to know the difference.
Guide me with your firm hand over the terse waters that may come.
Be my everything, as I'll be yours to do with as you desire.
Calm my fire of insecurity with your omniscience.
Repose in comfort on my bed, every morning you shall have a loving smile.
Love me as much as you can for the time we have been given, as I will love you no less.

Direct,
Physically dominant.
Unargueably aggressive,
Yet,
So unnoticed.

Recognisable colours,
Hidden behind,
Covering deceit.
Deceptive courage,
Fake smile,
Grimacing strength.

Cowering,
Submission is granted.
Obvious circumstances,
So misunderstood,
Retreat,
Access denied.

Apologies don't exist,
Escape artist,
Mascuerading as the helpless,
Only the strong,
Survive in,
Shadows.

Sudden movement,
Hard, cold floor.
Casualty,
More questions,
More lies,
No truth,
Is ever uttered.
