Lets Make a Deal

To love or not to love
That is the cue
With my all and all
I’m in love with you
To be or not to be
My debt is owed to thee 
My oath is not to flee 
Your so a part of me
You are the bow that ties me
I’m in this up to my neck
I wish my soul hire me
To try to pay this debt
You are the sun that warm me
And the moon of my nite
The kid so shy that buys me
And give me my own life
My head is in a spin
From the show of your grin
My day made to keep
My idea for you to seek
And nite my time to deal
With what it is I feel
My soul says keep it real
We have to make this deal

Thanks for telling it like it is, TS. At least you're telling how you feel about this relationship. It's tough when one sided, or when only one side says I love you. Keep loving, my friend ... someone is out there looking for you. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Cute idea executed well. I like "My head is in a spin. From the show of your grin."
