Will you ?

Will you love me ?

Will you love me even when I am hard to love?

When I stress about the little things

When my anger erupts full force

and when I cannot stand to be around you

Will you love me ?

Will you love me when I can't love myself ?

When the mirror morphs my beauty

When my body looks larger than it is

and when I cannot bear to look at my own face

Will you love me ?

Will you love me when I detest my feelings ?

When I cry over the impossible

When I cannot see the light

And when I long for more than what you offer

Will you love me ?

But

Will you love me ?

Will you love me when it all gets too much for You ?

Will you kiss my nose

Smooth tears from my eyes and

SIlence my fears with a brush of your lips

Will you love me ?

This is my favourite of all your poems thus far. It's raw, honest, fragile and wanting.

Repetition can sometimes be overbearing but it works perfectly here; it is the repeated, desperate cry for reassurance.

Keep writing.
