Poem 7<\/span><\/p>\n

Show Me ((Will You Love Me?))<\/span><\/p>\n

By: Ashley L Powers<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just me, my pen, and my thoughts<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those days where tears fill my eyes<\/span><\/p>\n

And my heart weighs a ton<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are you because I need you<\/span><\/p>\n

I need to hear you tell me everything will be okay<\/span><\/p>\n

I want for you to look at me with all my scars and my broken heart<\/span><\/p>\n

And tell me that you\u2019ll stay<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want the make believe<\/span><\/p>\n

Spare me the fairy tales<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sell me a dream<\/span><\/p>\n

I want you to give me your all<\/span><\/p>\n

I need you to love me with every fiber of your being<\/span><\/p>\n

I need to know you will love me when things get too hard to bare<\/span><\/p>\n

I need you, but I need to know that you care <\/span><\/p>\n

I need you to love me for me<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you be there to take care of me?<\/span><\/p>\n

If I hit rock bottom and all I have to offer is my love<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you stay with me?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not perfect <\/span><\/p>\n

But I\u2019m definitely worth it <\/span><\/p>\n

I truly need you to love me because I deserve it<\/span><\/p>\n

I promise that I would give you everything inside of me<\/span><\/p>\n

But only if you show me that you\u2019ll worth it<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone else folded<\/span><\/p>\n

Damaged me and left me broken <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you willing to love all my broken pieces?<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you patient enough to help me heal?<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you willing to show me how real love feels? <\/span><\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m probably asking for too much <\/span><\/p>\n

But I need reassurance <\/span><\/p>\n

That if I give you my mind, body, and soul <\/span><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t hurt me <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
