If I am a whore
It is only of yours
If I am a beggar
I am a beggar of you
I am not deserving of the clothes on my back
Or even the prayers that I pray
But deserving of your love
I am
Every step I take, I take for you
Every breath I breathe, I breathe for you
Every sound I speak I speak it for you
And when my eyes wake , they wake for you
So If I am a whore
It is only of yours
And If I am a beggar,
take what you will
And hold it for keeps
The darkness will fade…

Because if I am a whore
It is only of yours
And when my eyes wake they will wake for you

Hmmmm...interesting write.

But I like the context....the meaning is not obvious so I like that. You make the reader think, I appreciate that.

I enjoyed this poem because it was different!

Great effort!

Good write though i think . . . I shall no say it. I hope your relationship is not an abusive one.

Apparently we're on the same wave length right now :O

Well, I'm sure I don't have to tell you I'm finding myself in a similar situation these days...Your anguish is fully felt, and it was expressed vividly. Nicely done!

This sounds vaguely like a song from The Police.

However, it doesn't paint the narrator in a very favourabe light, IMO.

Keep writing,
