How to Make Me Your Sweetheart

How to Make Me Your Sweetheart

A Poem by Brenda Woods
"

Of breaking a girl and piecing her back together to make her yours.

"
make me your sweetheart;
notes left on my doorstep
leave gift after gift--
i'll barely spare them a glance
barely give you a chance
pick your heart off the floor
it's not you i adore

make me your sweetheart;
learn his name, then persist
tug at threads until i rip--
watch as i fall apart
then offer up your heart
never be discouraged, disgraced
continue; until he is replaced

make me your sweetheart;
leave me endless notes
never give up hope--
when i tell you no
when i ask you to go
put your heart on the ground
you'll see, i'll come around

make me your sweetheart;
i lose myself in sweet intoxication
pour another, i will not be shaken--
when your lips press to mine
when our fingers entwine
i'll let your hands roam my body
thoughts hazed; i'll let you have me

make me your sweetheart;
hold me when i wake, cold, sober
warm me, refuse to let it be over--
imagine light in my dead eyes
how these lips would curl into a smile
i'll only ever give you my heart
with sweet intoxication in the dark

make me your sweetheart;
i've forgotten how to be
anything but misery

make me into something
you believe me to be

Thank you!
The pull and tug of love can be very stressful but if you find that common ground it can be very fruitful.
I really enjoyed this one Brenda.
