--== ~The Taking of...~ ==--

Her silken bodice, soft and smooth,

It's sight would bring me joy.

her voice a silver memory

But she's another's toy.

.

To care for her delights us both

We share what we can do.

I tell her what her name should be

"I'll change it, just for you."

.

We miss the precious seconds

when our thoughts slide gently past.

And often we both go to bed

Believing it's our last.

.

But still, we share upon each day

A thing our two, for us.

And never let the night before

Make either of us fuss.

.

Together we shall face our tasks,

In every day before.

And someday she will smile

and be my own, forever more.
