Love Poem: Leading Lady

Leading Lady

Red lips I see them in dreams
Bare chest I wish I felt it here
I wish I could have everything with you
A connection spiritual, and also one  in the physical

I want to be the one you call
Name whispered on your lips
Desperate pleas, I could be the one
To treat you as a good man deserves

Trust me, I'm an actress
I could be anyone you request
But I hope you would need me
And not some woman playing parts
And memorizing unoriginal lines

I want to be the girl you see
In dreams, not just the one that
Stands aside, watching others
Take the stage with you as
The leading man

I don't want to be the girl behind the scenes
I want to be your leading lady
