The words "I want you"
Usually meant that I had
To perform womanly duties.
As my body became his biggest please-
My child-like Spirit went overseas.
I became so numb
That when I wanted to feel
I fantasized about what was no longer real.
Today, I strive to be a healthy woman
By keeping my Spirit and body as one
Especially while making love
