You Are All That I Want

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2021 with permission of the Author.

Give me you
tired and tattered
restless and weary
a heart that’s been shattered
Give me you
when you are less than tough
when you are not smiling
all your edges so rough
Give me you
when you can’t see the light
just open your heart
I will hold it so tight

Give me you.

You
are all
that I want
