I give you everything
my heart my love
my upmost respect and honesty
I will support you
and you will feel
the tingling of true happiness
but don’t be fooled
I am no pushover
I say nothing and smile
until the time
something has to be said
no smudge from my lipstick
nor tears in my eyes
I will not threaten
I have no disguise
just me with my cup of tea
and my digestive biscuits.
