Am I Worth It? Poem by Lindy Jean Kleinhans

By LJK

Am I worth it?
the effort
the text
am I worth you losing
Your life that has you vexed

Am I worth the trouble?
Am I worth a date
Am I worth the little time
I lap up as I wait

Am I worth the truth?
Or am I just the lie
I wonder if I'm worth it though
With you I want to try

Am I worth the minutes?
Am I worth your all?
Its given somewhere else anyway
but I'm damned if I will crawl

Am I worth it?
Or am I being tube fed with denial
Should I ever be your number one
I'll Accept it with a smile

I want your time
I want to depend on you
I want your honesty
As I'm sure you want mine too

I want to hug you publicly
I want to kiss your face
I want to make it clear to all
You've taken my heart space

I want to build a real home with you.
One that has no lies, regrets, or shame.
No guilt or past transgressions.
I want you just the same.

I want to go on adventures,
I want your cuddles too,
Reading books and watching movies
I want to do it with you.

I want to cook your favorite meals,
I want to do these things
And stay in bed for 2 days straight
There wont be any strings
