Can I Poem by shweta khosla

Can I



Can I tell you things,
Through music, poems or rhyme?
Can I use words to reach you,
Someone else’s or mine?

Can I be there when,
you need me to be?
Can I let you help,
Make you feel sorry for me?

Can I touch you,
Give you a peck on the cheek?
Can I hope, in this moment of weakness,
it is me you will seek?

Can I build castles,
of sand, hopes and fantasy?
Can I wish for them to stay
hold on to the antithesis of reality?

Can I chain you down,
chain you down to me?
Can I accept that I want you,
Only because you don’t want me?

Many questions ended finally in a negative approach, 'Can I accept that I want you, only because you don't want me? ' I would like it to be, 'Can I accept that I want you, only because you want me? '
