april 2015 pad challenge day 27: looking again, looking true

dead straight
in the eyes
you always looked at me

as you snaked your
firm hand around me

guiding me close

i never felt
more like a princess
than i did
with you

letting you
rule over me
was the most beautiful
compromise
i could ever make

and even now
when i hear
that determination
in your voice

the rise up
to fear
that you do
unconsciously

i stop
and lean on every word

empowered again
by your strength
and love

from far
to near
and back again
