Peace felt strange on her skin
Like a sweater too soft
for somebody raised in the winter
She was a hot girl
Yet this man treated her so gently
He was nice genuinely
He was always on time, called when he said he would,
Gave step daddy energy to her three kids,
Opened her door
And completed tasks without being asked
He was safe and mundane
Predictable, to her everyday felt the same with him
After a while she genuinely thought something was actually wrong with him
Every compliment he gave made her suspicious.
Every safe night he provided made her feel the opposite
"He's a really nice guy"
Which is why she was having such a hard time
Figuring out why the two of them didn’t align
Then like a wieght being lifted from her mind she realized
Though gentle this man didn't give her an emotional high
On the surface she thought she was ready
But the consequence of having a nice man got to be too heavy
Caught up ruminating in her own head
She did what any insecure woman would've did
She ran from that nice man
Back into the arms of a man she was comfortable with
A man she could relate in brokenness with
A man she had one of her three kids with
Despite the things that nice man did
Peace felt less familiar than suffering did
And being with this nice man shed light on parts of herself she always hid
