Manhandled

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You walk into the room 

like you own the place.

 

You ooze confidence 

like sweat

from your pores.

 

No wonder you caught my eye.

 

No wonder I let you

have me in ways 

no other man had me before.

 

I needed to be manhandled

and man, did you handle me. 

 

Your body could do wonders,

but your words, 

they cut me like a seam.

 

They tore through me

and exposed my insecurities. 

 

And here I was splayed

like a open wound.

 

Then, like magic,

you sealed me back up

and somehow I was healed.
