Believe Me

One of my first pieces of poetry...

Believe me, I meant it in every way,
Whether love or lust,
I want you to forever stay.

If you will remain, I cannot say,
I see affection, overcome by disgust;
Believe me, I meant it in every way.

Do not decide right away,
Instead pause to feel the trust,
I want you to forever stay.

It is hard to see the glimpses of hope your face betrays,
But I can see they are there, so you must
Believe me, I meant it in every way.

All my will is put on display;
The loathing falters and crumbles to dust,
I want you to forever stay.

Happiness shines through and I pray.
You look at me as if to just
Believe me, I meant it in every way.
I want you to forever stay.
