Sometimes when I get it wrong, could you pretend not to see
Especially when I'm feeling crap, please don't talk down to me
I know I don't always get it right but my intention is always good
And when you've asked me to do my best, I've done the best I could
Some days you seem to pick a fight, just because you can
Please try to be considerate and stop acting like a "HAM"
No more petty arguments or tit for tatty rows
Especially at that time of month when I become a "moody cow"
When I get home after a long day at work and have my usual whine
Just listen well, nod your head and pretend all will be just fine
And when I have my monthly sob while watching "feel good" flicks
Just hold my hand and hug me close, forget the whoopee cushion tricks
A gentle touch is all I need, a soft word, a supportive ear and sometimes
just make my day, say the things I like to hear.

The rustling of leaves.
A light embrace,
A tender sensation,
Too delicate
She cowers in the corner
heart breaking
limbs shaking.
She's afraid to move
too afraid to run.
Afraid that he'll return
With his
