Let Me Believe Poem by Janis Land Raymer

I feel you in my mind
filling my head with thoughts
It's like I can't focus...
focus on anything but you.
I know I let you take advantage
Yes, I know I let you hurt me-
in very real ways.

You're the blood pumping in my veins
You keep me alive
There's no way I could ever leave
You've become my whole life
I know it's dangerous to give you
so much power...
but living in danger with you is safer-
than being over.

No drink could warm me, baby, the way
your gaze can
No powder could take me as high as-
when you touch me
If there's lies in your eyes
and deception in your touch-
please don't tell me baby...let me believe-
I want to believe...so much.
