my body, my love
My body, my love What have you done? Grown the extra love handle And expanded the tum'?
My body, my love Where have you gone? From snatched waist to rolls And more curves down your spine?
My body, my love How long will it be? Before the weight of these changes Cuts deep into me?
My body, my love How do I learn? To love all that was And is and is to come?
My body, my fire Do the flames hurt? As the whips and the lashes Come flying all at once?
My body, my warrior How can it be? That you carry the scars Of my mistakes from the past
My body, my vessel Teach me how to care To nourish and feed you So thereās no more despair
My body, my temple Teach me to worship The soft curves and bulges That have settled on your skin
My body, my love Teach me to be thankful For carrying my worries My fears and anxieties
My body, my love Teach me to pray For my mind that still wanders In the depths of dismay
My body, my lover Maybe one day I will Be in love with you forever Until the day we part
My body, my survivor Thank you for carrying me Through the torture of the raging sickness And all the wrongs and the rights
(One day, I will love you, no matter how you look) 171220
this is so beautiful
