Be in Love With Me

Be in love with me
Hold me and touch me.
Worship me.
Want me.
Be in love with me,
And want to put your arms around my waist and dance
Said you want me,
Like you once did,
But take it further now.
Want me again,
But want me better.
Don’t just want me to be there, like the dog or the hamster,
The toaster you’ve grown fond of.
Want me the way I wanted you.
Need me,
Think about me,
See me.
Make time for me, make everything about me.
I wanted you, I wanted you.
Love me, like you never did
Want me, like you never did.
I know that, now,
Why you bothered,
That’s still a mystery.
Maybe you tricked yourself into caring,
Because I was the only one who did.

    I really like this poem, poor guy, it sounds like he is a bit obsessed with the girl who really doesnt know what she's doing. I really like the line about the toaster. This is great, keep it up

    Hey, you totally took my title! Duuuddddeeeee!

    Anywho, this is nice. It has the basics of a good relationship. Both sides should want, love, and need the other. This is kind of sad to me in a way because you are just begging for the girl to love you and to understand that oyu care. Then, at the end, where you say you don't understand why they bothered, which leads up to last two last. . .they really hit home for me.

    Nice work,
    Ash
