Her Essence



She looks at him,
Stronger than strength should be.
He sits there
Unmoving, unfeeling.
Though he shows no signs of awareness,
She knows her company is sensed.
The rigidity of his shoulders,
The cramped muscles along his back,
Those bodily signals give him away.
No man matches his powerful presence.
No man compares to his dominating aura.
He occupies her heart.
He completes her essence.
He and him alone
Cures her wounds.
Now he accepts her
To heal his.
