I Would Give You My Heart

Missy H.
This is a prose poem

I know what it is.
I may have figured it out.
You want me to say it,
just because I want to.
Not because I want you to,
or because I think
it's what you want to hear.
I'm right, aren't I?
Well then, that means
you do not understand.
Because see, if you payed attention,
as close attention as I pay to you,
then you would have known
that I felt something for you
long before I cared at all
whether you felt the same for me.
If you had asked, I would have said,
that I used to stay up at night,
writing in my journal, about you,
and how I could not have you,
because you were with someone else,
and I wanted you anyway.
Once, I think I even wrote a song about you.
Yes, it was cheesy, so I threw it away.
And it's so sad, when I can't make you see
that I would give you my heart
if you'll just take it
when I offer it

*If you are reading, and I think you are because I'm not dumb, then fine, whatever, I lied when I said that other thing was the last thing you'd see before the next time I saw you. Whatever. I don't care anymore. Obviously, I want you to know all this, so, there's no reason I can't put it here, is there? And I do have a right to put it here, and let everyone see it, because like I said, I'm not embarrissed about how I feel.*
