May I Ask For Poem by Marilyn Jean

Could I ask you more
When I know
I cannot

Affection
Attachment
Love

All I have
It is true
Look and see

Asked for nothing
Expect no return
Then feel in pain

Love better
We can
Or maybe not

May I have a moment
Then go
Or maybe now and then

Not much at all
Yet so much love
All around us

How to be free
Nicely and softly
My mind cannot solve

But the heart knows
And everyday
It cries and hurts

May I ask for
Peace or relief
Quiet time

I ask you
You
Yes you
