Wanted

Take me, all of me, That is how my heart truly feels. Take my heart, for you already own it; Take my mind, for it thinks of you every moment; Take my eyes, for they see you everywhere; Take my ears, for it's only your voice they wish to hear; And take my arms, for it's you they wish to hold – I wish to give you my all, even my soul! Although I wish to give, I am afraid What if you wish to receive my gift, but fail? What if I give my heart and it breaks? What if your eyes see only my mistakes? What if all I see and love in you is all fake? And what if you never give back but you only take?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
