Poetry: Offering

by Melody Phillips

Created on: November 01, 2008

Reality Has More To Offer

Yes, I know I am not pretty, as for money I have none,

But, if love is what your after, well honey I'm the one

The games you play with others, will someday leave you alone

Why take love that isn't real or rarely even shown?

These woman who you sleep with; they don't care who they do,

Having sex with one last night then having sex with you.

For them the only difference is the name they say aloud,

My love could take you higher, we would dream among the clouds.

Maybe, I'm not pretty but the risk you take are few;

I'd love you for who you are, not for the things you do.

I won't take things from you that I myself wouldn't give

The dreams we share together are the dreams we would live.

So, if you think, I'm not pretty, the choice is yours to make

But, Reality Has More to Offer than anyone who's fake.
