This poem I tried to be pretty raw and to the point, which makes the poem's tone a bit more like my prose self than my poetic one.
Would you love me if I love you
Hug me if I hug you
Touch me softly on the lips
Hold my hand, then softly kiss
I have aged for eternity
Wisdom isn't the same to me
It isn't something cherished or dear
Only something that keeps me here
I would trade every single day
Of studying and learning things
Which now leave me alone
Walking pages in books I own
I don't know who I am
Nor who I should have been
I only know that I want you
Not who you are or what to do
Would you love me if I love you
While you touch me softly on the lips
And hold my hand as we kiss
Please hug me so I'll know who
Would you love me if I love you
Hug me if I hug you
Touch me softly on the lips
Hold my hand, then softly kiss
I have aged for eternity
Wisdom isn't the same to me
It isn't something cherished or dear
Only something that keeps me here
I would trade every single day
Of studying and learning things
Which now leave me alone
Walking pages in books I own
I don't know who I am
Nor who I should have been
I only know that I want you
Not who you are or what to do
Would you love me if I love you
While you touch me softly on the lips
And hold my hand as we kiss
Please hug me so I'll know who
