Love Me

If you want me, you can have me.
I'll be yours in a minute.
No wooing or courting, just take your hand
And put me in it.

You may call me desperate,
Or perhaps unfulfilled,
But I just want to be loved—
I can love you back; I will.

So open your arms,
Beckon me over.
I'll find my way to them,
You'll be my cover,
My shelter,
Protection,
That's all I ask.
And I'll do anything, I promise,
To ensure we last.

If you want me, just say,
Or give me a kiss on the cheek.
A few thoughtful words,
That's all that I seek.

I'm empty inside,
There's a hole in my chest—
Not from heartbreak,
My heart's decayed from too much rest.

I won't say it again.
I'm yours if you want.
Take me. Have me.
And, please, love me.
