-marriage

all women have secrets.
most men are afraid to ask.

for them,
marriage is a burdensome task
do I ask, don’t I ask,
do I ask, don’t I ask,

he afraid to,
she reluctant to tell,

both wearing masks.

W.E.

ask her secret
or you won’t be able to hold her down
ask her secret
before you don’t find her bound
ask her secret
if you want to keep her around
ask her secret
and forever she’ll be your crown

tell your secret
if you want to keep him close
tell your secret
and he’ll heal you like aloes
tell your secret
and he’ll raise hair on neck and curl your toes
tell your secret
if you want to hear his prose

-W.E.
