20// That’s All That Matters
Frills, bows and petticoats my dress is girly
Bruises, cuts and binds my body aches
Green eyes, broad shoulders and a sweet mouth my Mad Hatter is safety
He wards them off
He promises that he will keep me safe
He keeps his promise when he kisses me
We fit so perfectly together
We lie next to each other, wrapped in each other’s warmth
We are here
And that’s all that matters
But he stirs
He wakes
He is hurt
“Hatter, remember, where are we?”
“Safe” he says as he falls into me.
“That’s right, we’re safe, baby”
That’s all that matters
