POEMS for everything

You're Going to Love Me

(Inspired by the song: "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls)

I could never go,
I could never live without you,
I'm not living without you.
We share the same love,
Both love for you.
We are part of the same pair of eyes,
Seeing two different sceneries.
You are the best man I'll ever know,
The best man I knew.
You're going to love me,
You're going to cherish me,
Like a diamond in a coal mine.
I scream and shout,
Trying to grasp for you.
Time and time,
I tell you I'm not going.
I'm staying,
You stay a block of marble,
While I am chipped to rubble.
I give you everything,
Chipping pieces of myself off,
Handing them over to you.
You are going to love me,
Every fiber of your soul will vibrate to the sound of my voice,
The sound of my song.
I cannot bear to wake up,
Finding that you are not there.
Stay with me,
Hold me,
Kiss me,
Love me.
I need you,
I love you,
And you,
You are going to love more than yourself,
You are going to love me.
