I Let Him
I let him touch me
In places
No man should ever know
Not more than one
Your husband’s secret
A mother’s wisdom told
His face
A stranger to my eye
His cologne
The sweetest smell
He signed
His taste upon my lips
His kiss I knew quite well
I let him hold me
In places
No man should ever know
Not more than one
A father’s tone
Should see your afterglow
His hands
As soft as infant skin
Yet, manly his caress
Our bodies fit
Like synchronicity
A perfect peace
To lay upon his chest
I let him feel me
In places
No man should ever know
Told him
His love is surely good
Like soothing to my soul
I let him tell me things
No man should ever say
In tones that hurt
More than fists that hit
No one should ever
Have to hear
Words spoken that way
I let him
put his hands on me
Domestic violence
No one should ever do
A hard lesson learned
From an ear who yearns
To be told
I LOVE YOU!”
I let him
Have his way with me
Like no man ever could
His stranger ways
I knew all too well
Yet not at all
Like I should
Some say he had me
I never had him
Some say I had him too much
Some say true love
Doesn’t hurt
At least not like his
Asking why
I still had not enough
I let him love me in ways
No man
Ever should ever know
He left loving scars
Too deep to heal
Before he let me go
I let him.
