For the both of us -PAD2022-Writer-

“I'm not your freaking mother!” I yelled while pointing a knife at him, trying to score the winning point in our argument. A second later he had taken the knife away from me, grabbed me by the shoulders and threw me against the wall. It hurt just a little bit.
He stood in front of me with big wild eyes, yelling back pointless blames, but I didn't hear the words coming from his mouth. Instead I looked at his beautiful face and thought: “this is the most gorgeous creature that ever walked the Earth, and he is mine forever”. I felt the adrenaline moving up my spine, but resisted the urge to fight him further, instead I took his face between my hands and kissed him passionately. The argument was over.

We married 9 years ago and during all this time we stayed deeply and madly in love. We adored each other since day one! I must admit that our marriage is one of extremes. Some even think it was the biggest mistake of our lives, that we shouldn't be together. When things are good, they are exceptionally good and it feels like all my dreams came true. But when it is bad, it is excruciating bad. He can lift me up to heights that not many have experienced, while he is also capable of breaking me into millions of little pieces. but in the end he has always managed to put me back together, and between the extremes we make promises we both know we can't keep.

The truth is that I've been his mother since the day we married, and that is solely because I allowed it to be that way. That is the only reason! He does not demand things that are out of my comfort zone, he doesn't treat me like I'm less than him. I am the one who decided to be willing to be whoever he needs me to be: a mother that cares for him, no matter what he did! A cook that makes him delicate dishes when he's hungry, a nurse that tends to his emotional wounds, sometimes his bleeding knuckles when he'd hit a wall, or after I've hurt him…
sometimes it's fully geared up cat-woman with whips and tassels.

In return he keeps me sane in a world gone mad. When I loose control, he wins it back for me. When I cry for no reason at all, he comforts me. When I need to fight, he fights back. He fights for the both of us, and he loves me back, unconditionally.
Always.

I enjoyed that.
A messed up version of give and take.
Love is madness.
Relationships are always messed up.
The good ones are those that work for everybody involved.

Sorry I ramble...

glad you enjoyed it, and you're not rambling at all!

The original story was a bit longer but I didn't think it would get passed T&C without editing a lot out

Passion and devotion, a burning flame,
can warm you up and burn you the same.

Heated emotions and soaring love,
it seems like both can't get enough.

Do you have an endless stream of rhymes coming out of your sleeve?

I have to admit that my rhyming-energy is depleted for today. Lost all my energy during the last football watching
