Held Too Gently to Resist
She said, “Don’t love me this hard,” Whispered into the dark, Cause the way he held her Melted every hidden part She could feel it in the quiet, In the warmth of his arms, Lying there, unfolding slowly, Pouring out her heart unarmed And he held her like a promise, No trembling, no guard, Taking every piece she offered, Holding it so easy, so unscarred That’s why she whispered, “Don’t love me this hard.” 💓
