woman’s

(curse)

By Sara Published about a year ago 1 min read

a man shall be her sun,

moon and stars

but to him she will always be

the earth she is made of.

he will worship her body

with his hands,

love her with his lips.

she will tear her soul

for him.

he will never know her.

how she thinks of him

in the night,

how his heart takes over hers,

how she can barely breathe in his presence.

he will bend her over

and leave her full

but empty,

satiated and hungry.

she will never be whole without him

but he was born whole.

(it is a woman’s curse).
