All the Love in the World
You are
all the love
in the world,
and
it is mine
for the taking
only because
you want me to
have
all that love
that you hold
deep within
your heart,
but I am afraid.
Do I deserve this gift?
This love?
I do not believe
that I do
but I take it,
if only because
you are
holding it out
toward me,
begging me to
take it
and, so,
I give
back
all that I can give.
It may not be much,
but
it's all that I have
and I give it
to you.
