When Life Comes Knocking

It was a hook up alright.

I was hooked, the moment he entered me.

Into my heart, he dived right in.

Without my consent, he dented my soul

With a permanent hole

And yet somehow my spirit got whole.

The shell of my body came apart to let him in.

Emotions coursed and crashed through me

Like the mighty waves, unreined and untrained.

My veins were charred and my nerves terrified,

My will and my control surrendered and died.

I gasped and heaved

But never once let go of this glue

That held all of me.

Because without him, I was nothing and

Beyond him, I knew nothing.

I was him and he was me,

Leaving him meant leaving me.

Friends and family, I had no time for any.

The "twinkle" in his eyes

And "love you" from his lips

Were all that made my heartbeat.

My days and nights were full of only him;

His demands, his dreams, his wishes, and his needs.

He hugged and he kissed, he hit and he bit,

But I smiled through it all

Though my body was in shock and energy depleted.

Of unconditional love, I had only heard.

Of unconditional courage, I have earned and learnt

As I live to love and love to live.

A lifetime or a moment, it doesn't matter;

Whatever he wishes for,

I would offer him on a platter.

Because

I am hooked, hooked for life.

One hook-up

A lifelong relationship.

It's my body, my mind but

HIS RULES

That helped find ME at last.

He is

My darling son

My angel boy.

From now till forever,

The one reason, I'll happily live and die.
