Despite Laughing
Do not roll your eyes.
A woman lives beneath this armor.
Look at me.
When rain comes, my only want is to dry your shoulders.
Look at me.
When winter approaches,
my summer wants to warm your limbs.
Look at me.
When the fight in our words will not quiet,
my love cries for a slow kiss.
Please,
I like your color, my beautiful cardinal.
Look at me.
