Sandra Osborne - Commitment

Love me tonight, <br />She said, <br />Like a flower wavering <br />In a cool summers breeze. <br /> <br />There must be no commitments here, <br />He said, <br />Thus we insure <br />No rejection, no fear. <br /> <br />Love me tonight, <br />She said, <br />Like a plea to belong <br />To a world that doesn’t exist. <br /> <br />I must always be free, <br />He said. <br />You are just <br />A thing to me. <br /> <br />She smiled, <br />As her dreams of love <br />Slipped into the silver black <br />Ocean of non-reality. <br /> <br /> <br />Confidently, he leaned over <br />And touched her shoulder; <br />Kiss me girl, <br />He said. <br /> <br />She just stared at him <br />From the distance of stars, <br />And laughed.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/commitment-3/
