My Darling

What a powerful thing to call you

My Darling.

The One who can give me butterflies

Or a pit in my stomach

At the turn of a phrase. 

 

Bear my soul to you,

Hear me scream at you,

My Darling.

Reunite with you,

Forget the fights with you,

…My Darling.

 

They say there is beauty in the pain,

If that’s the case, we are goddamn supermodels,

My Darling.

When you kiss me at night

All the jokes, keep it light.

Can’t let them smell the poison         My Darling.

 

Even the rosiest moments

Can be tainted by the memory of thorns,

Am I right, M y D a r l i n g ?

Promise everything is fine, 

Speeding past all the signs,

If we are anything, we are reckless drivers. MyDarling. 

 

Lay together in the dark, 

Only each other to hold.

It’s these moments I live for, MD. 

Dried tears on your cheek, 

Laugh ‘till we are weak,

We are natural comedians, I promise! My Darling!

 

The challenges we conquer,

The mood swings you navigate,

The hoops we jump through,

Worth it all to have you. 

Because, if anything, you are 

My Darling.
