PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have a question for you my dear,

won’t you answer it please?

What have I done to deserve your love,

what is it, excitedly, that you see in me?

I guess I can't quite understand

just where the attraction lies.

Is it my body, or maybe my mind?

In my heart; perhaps it's my eyes?

How can you say that I'm beautiful,

as you look me square in the face?

When the person I see in the mirror,

stares back in utter disgrace?

My emotions are so unpredictable,

no need to add fuel to the fire!

Though my love is ever bountiful

when you're the one I most desire.

I'll do all I can to please my man,

more than I'll do for myself.

But material objects come far & few,

Unfortunately I haven't much wealth.

I was never president of my class,

or captain of the cheer-leading team.

Wasn't picked "Most Likely to Succeed",

or voted the Homecoming Queen.

I'm just an average kind of girl,

living a (somewhat) ordinary life.

What is it that makes me so special,

for you to want me as your wife?

I spent many years building a wall,

my protection from invaders like you!

It scares me to death when I realize,

you managed to find a way through.

You alone have captured my heart,

so to you I will always be true.

And if I were given just one wish to make,

My love, I would only wish for you!

Though the question still remains, my dear,

won't you give me the answer I seek?

Why do you give me your love today,

and will you still love me next week?





By, A.M.R.
