He is happy.
You knew just what to do,
The right words to say,
The right places to touch.
He is content.
You are his adoring little wife
Quiet, obedient,submissive:
The perfect companion.
He is disappointed.
You weren't a big enough depository
For all his expectations
And dared to make it known.
He is afraid.
You let your potential shine.
Rather than stay in the corner he assigned you
You stepped up to meet new challenges.
He is confused.
You challenge his omnipotence,
Standing on your own two feet.
So where does that leave him?
He is angry.
You didn't keep your word.
You didn't stick to the plan
And the terms of your agreement have changed.
He is quiet.
You argued;
He yelled
And there is nothing else to be said.
He is pensive.
You have stepped back
To allow him space to come to terms
With a world turned on its head.
He is enlightened.
You are not the source of his woes;
You are not witholding
The keys to his happiness.
He is healed.
You are wife, lover, mother, friend.
You are strong, fragile, beautiful.
You are an individual and now part of a team.
