To Me
What are you, if not a bone of my bones?
My missing rib!
What are you, if not three beings in one body?
-A mother to forgive my follies,
- A sister to shelter my sins
And a wife to whom my request is a command.
What are you, if not an exhale on my lips?
That gentle zephyr
That sweet music
The lullaby I sleep to.
What are you, if not a beat of my heart?
An elixir of life
A drug running in my veins.
