You offered me a flower
to place behind my ear
and keep long after drying
You offered me a drawing
the most beautiful I've ever looked
myself through your eyes
You offered me sustenance
for everything I needed
everything I craved
You offered me a solid place
to rest my bitter, busy head
and lay down bare
You offered yourself to me, fully
and for once I didn't hesitate
to take and take and take
and give myself to you
