couldnt we just

by Vikki Owens

honey,
couldnt we just
be each others everything?
in my world, you are king
and i am queen,
and there is nothing in between
the sheets, this smile, the teeth
are not too sharp
for the small bites of love we take
from each other,
daily bread, that has kept us fed,
my lover
and my friend,
we are two peas, in this comfy pod.
..................................

once upon a time,
a fair maiden was taken
against her will.
she said no.

a pearl was placed inside her
that may have been there forever,
but she said no.

so she sewed herself closed again,
never to be used by the likes of men
as ground to grow.

..................................

honey,
couldnt we just
close this fairy tale
with you, me, us?
and dont ask of me
what i wont give.

So beautiful and sad...I hope that he can see where you stand, find a place of understanding, and not keep 'bugging you' about it. *HUGS*

Sweet and sentimental; lovely imagery.
