inspired by The Sessions.

A few months ago I saw a movie called "The Sessions" and while the summary may sound a bit risque I highly recommend it to any of my mature readers (by that I mean 17 or older).  In that movie the main character falls in love with the leading actress and he composes a love poem to her.  While trying to pick his words you hear him say "tell me . . . let me . . . show me. . ." that is where I go the inspiration for this, my newest poem, enjoy.




TELL ME, LET ME, SHOW ME
Tell me that you love me,
Tell me every day,
Let me love you also,
In my own special way,
Show me that you love me,
In what you do and say.

Tell me that you hate me,
Hate me with all your might
Let me hate you also,
I’ll say it with great delight,
Show me that you hate me,
But don’t do it out of spite.

Tell me that you like me,
Say you’ll be my friend,
Let me like you also,
Let our friendship never end,
Show you me that you like me,
When there’s a hand that you can lend.

You can treat me any way you like,
And think of me what you will,
Understand I might respond in kind,
I’m just trying to keep things real,
I’m usually pretty laid back,
But even I can get my fill.
