my ease and
comfort return‭
in ur arms

ur gentle
strength and steady
gaze soothes
my troubled soul,
do not abandon me
again,
u know i have dedicated
my life to only u

how awful, desolate and
painful to be away from u,
hold me tight
i am only human
with human needs,
do not overestimate my
abilities

i am happy to do anything‭
for u if u stay with me
and resist ur tendencies to
stray

for what is a woman born
if not to be with a man,
maintain a relationship
and create a family,
my name is not
Julia Gillard?
