If You Want To Love Me
#3 of Poetry
A declaration in the needs that I have
If you want to love me
You'll have to show me you're here for the long haul
If you want to hold my love in your hands
You'll have to prove to me that you won't throw it away
If you want to have my trust
You'll have to give me exactly the same you expect
If you want to help me with my fears and insecurities
You'll have to give me a reason to allow you to do so
If you want to be a part of my life
You'll have to try tour best to make it happen
I will not chase after you
Nor will I expect you to chase me
I will not give you reason to doubt me
Unless you make me doubt myself
I will not leave you behind
Unless you won't let me carry you
I will not let my insecurities bury me
Unless you give me the shovel
I will not let you be burned
Unless you burn me first
If you want me to love you
Show me you love yourself
If you want me to love you
Show me you truly want to help fix it
If you want me to love you
Show me you even want my love
If you want me to love you
Show me you love the parts of me I hate
If you want me to love you
Show me that you want all of me
If you can do this
I will give you my entirety, both strength and weakness
If you can o this
I will raise you higher than the heavens
If you can do this
I will be there because you want me
Not because you need me
I will be there because you want me
If you can do this
You will be my safety
As I will be your sanctuary
If you can do this
If you can TRUELY do this
I will always be there
