You Had Me For A Moment Poem by Peggy Pollock

For a short sweet moment,
You had all of me.
Not just me in that moment
But me eternally.
You had my past
that lead me to give you my future.
You had my regrets
that lead me to give you only honesty
You had a warmth built up by generations of untainted love.
You had a family, a home to go,
support like you have never known.
Support like you will never know

Because you refused to see
A weaker side in me
Brought to the surface on purpose
Because you asked for all of me.

But the love you seek is sickly sweet
And fiercely momentary
And the love you split let flowers wilt
Be that seductively.

So here I am
Your wilted rose
Exactly as you want to know
Ambitiously walking alone…
It seems to be a road you know.

But in the night when we reside
And gaze upon each other's eyes
I shall bare my wholesome sole
And share this joyful spirit
My lips shall kiss a book of prose
And only you shall hear it
Our hips shall glide our minds shall fly,
Our fingertips and souls entwine.

I shall bare my blood for you
I shall much as wilt for you
I shall give my all to you
But only for a moment.
