Open For Business
Open for business. Drop off your damaged self. Re-purpose. Rehabilitation. I'll restore your health. Mend your heart and wipe your tears. Build back your self esteem. Remind you that you're lovable. Any girl's perfect dream. I'll shower you with affection. Compliment your smile. Laugh at all your jokes. Just pretend you love me a while. I'll get that ego all shined up and for no extra fee, I'll profess my undying love just before you leave. I'll stand at the door smiling as I watch you walk away. I'll save my tears for closing time after pulling down the shade. I'll sweep up the pieces of my heart from the…

Wallflower
I am but a wallflower. Sitting by the wayside, watching life happen. Daydreaming of the day I get to dance. As it sit here, I whither. I become bitter and cold. I hurt and lose reason.

She awoke with a start, clutching her heart, as she brought into focus the room. She could naught but stare at the man lying there, make-believing he was you.

Enough
Enough hours in the day. Enough air in your lungs. Enough music to play. Enough friends to hug. Enough joy in your life. Enough spring in your step. Enough grit in your fight. Enough laughing 'til you've wept. Enough faith in your God. Enough courage to take enough chances to trod the path that keeps you awake. Enough fire in your heart. Enough light to see. Enough hope to set you start to bring you home to me. Of all the things I wish for you, beyond all measures of love. Know my heart, only to you belongs, and I wish you, always, Enough. ~ A. Saam
