All I Ask
You don't have to
set a trap
for my heart, dear.
You don't have to
cry or plead for it.
You don't have to
compete
against another
to stake your claim,
for my heart has but
ONE room.
It could be yours,
and only yours
to occupy!
You don't have to
chase after it, my lovely.
I'll give you
my heart.
I'll give it
to you
willingly,
if you
give me yours.
That is all I ask.
