Love Poem: Love Me

Love Me

I want
to hear
the words straight from your lips
I want 
reassurance that you still want this
I want you to
embrace 
the vulnerable side that
I try to hide
can't
you see
im like
a turtles
belly
soft
on the underside
you
could cut me to shreds
with
just one look of disdain

I want you
to say
you love me
and that you'll never go
because
I worry
that
we are slowly
growing further apart
I still choke
on
the words
I love you
because
they
are words
sent straight from my heart
I cry these
tears
so real
full
of
missing you
and your scent
and having nothing to hold
when
all I want
is for this distant
waiting 
to end
I don't want
to be a
fool for love
I see now
Life's a game
and
I don't want
to have
a losing start
Tell you 
you love me
so
I can sleep at night
Tell me you love me
so we won't fall apart
Tell me you love me
just one more time
I am so
lost
in 
this world
your love
is
the only
comfort that i have got
and
day to
day
its what I've sought
There is so much more
to show you
what i've got
theres so much
more promise
I have got within me
Love me!
