I Was Once

I was once with a boy who did some hurtful things.
On occasions after he raped or abused me, he would tell me it’s how relationships worked,
What did I know?

I was once with a boy who said some hurtful things.
He’d tell me how women were cooks and cleaners, and that I wasn’t cut out for a camping lifestyle,
What did I know?

I am now with a man that looks at me with devotion in his eyes.
Touches me with respect in his hands.
He brings out the best and worst of me and will always meet each version with open, stable energy.

He loves to cook,
He helps keep things clean (most of the time…)
We’ve been living in our tent, on the road for a few months now.

I am now with a man that I deserve, and I try my best to honour.

I am with a man.
