Will I Ever Be Enough?, poem by Signe Robertson, 2009 If you met another girl One from your neighborhood Would you give me up Or am I really enough? Am I what you use Until you find what you need? What you throw out When you find what you'll keep? If I made love to you Throughout the night Could I please you enough? Will you ever be satisfied? Am I pretty enough? For a goddess like you If I was ugly Would you leave me? I have nothing to give you! Nothing besides love Can that be enough? Or do you need more? If I tell you I love you You beautiful girl Would you rather hear the words From someone else but me? If I couldn't offer money Or sex or food or shelter Would you still every night Lay down by my side? And would you still tell me That you are only mine And belong to no one else But me? Is this distance enough To break up me and you? Is any distance that far? I hope the answer's "No!" When you go to bed at night Who do you think about? Whose hands do you imagine All over your perfect skin? And whose name do you whisper Silently in the night? I'll never be perfect But will I ever be enough? |
