what do i have to do
to get you to realize
that you're all that i want?
do i have to scream it
at the top of my lungs,
until my throat burns
and my voice is hoarse?
do i have to get it
tattooed across my face,
in bold and bright letters?
do i need to get it
scorched on my arm,
forever having scar
in its place;
a reminder of what i'd
do for you?
