What Is Love? (Poem)

A little backstory before the poem. It was 2003 and I was a young maiden of 18 when I met a younger man whom I would fall in love with.

I was excited and hopeful for the future when I wrote this, and unfortunately, that love wouldn't last and turned into battered women syndrome and physical abuse by mid-2004 into 2005.

We look each other in the eye.

Love surrounds us in this small room.

Our lips touch, tongues prodding, dancing amongst each other, Our hands touching and feeling sensitive places...

I want to be one with you.

One in an unbreakable union.

Take me, take me gently.

Take me and make this bond last.

Show me... Show me everything and all of you.
