Bend. Contort. Spread to fit. Woman does this for man. She takes him in, through the fear, through the pain. She rocks him. She holds him tight. He explodes with unearthly joy. But she is not in Heaven. Because he leaves her. And he does not understand. He does not soothe her with words, or reassure her with attention. He is man, and she is woman, but she is angel too. She is strong, and she will keep her faith. She knows his love. And should she lose it, even without warning, she would live on. That is the special power she was given to keep her safe.
