she said

she said yes
way too soon
looking for love
way too hard
searching for someone to satisfy her soul
she settled for seduction
and called it loved
she confused lust with affection
he was affectionate because he
complimented her frame
caressed her softest spots
and touched her when she least expected it
so instead of letting love find her
she
set her sights on matrimony
some said she was rushing
allowing her soul to fall freely
but this was different
because to her
he was love
so
she said its ok
and allowed her battered heart to seek comfort in lies
because every now and then he gets angry
she said its ok
and allowed her withering soul to cry tears of pain
because every now and then he gets lonely
she said its ok
as her swollen eyes showed signs of sleep deprivation
because every now and then he
made mistakes
that she tried to justify
with love
but she confused love with affection

so when they asked if she was ok
all she always said yes
way too soon
