Asking Too Much

By plumbgrl15

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Make me a copy of your silhouette So I can stand you up and stare. And when you go just leave it there For I won't be done looking yet. And leave for me an envelope Sealed with love's embrace. Fill it up with words you spoke And kisses you lingered upon. I won't need pictures to see you there I can just close my eyes instead. So just leave me the sweetest things Of what made you and me, And if it isn't asking too much Please leave behind my heart. Written December 25th, 2001 © on Dec 24 2001 05:29 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
