Love Me Not
Love me not for outward appearance
the sum of me is far more than that
Love me not for the things I do for you
that just scratches the surface of me
Love me not for worldly goods and possessions
for all of these soon will vanish like dust
Love me just as I am with warts and all
take time, learn to understand my moods
Love me for the words that spring from my pen
these sentences will tell you what I am about
Love me and accept I often walk a different path
and in return you will hold my heart in your hands
