Begging is never beneath me <br />I'd beg you to stay <br />But I know you wouldn't care <br />You'd leave me anyway <br /> <br />And I danced a dance around you <br />We laughed and carried on <br />I fell all over you <br />And you took in the best of me <br />You packed it up <br />And now you've gone <br /> <br />I never learned the art of grudging, <br />Withholding, and pretending <br />I tell you the truth <br />I still want you <br />And forgiveness is the only bargain <br />on the table <br /> <br />I answered when you came knocking <br />At my door <br />Embraced you when you dropped <br />Your things <br />Glistening wet, regretful eyes <br /> <br />And you need say nothing <br />Your apologies have been accepted <br />Your shame can leave <br />It's got no place with you and me <br /> <br />I let you touch me <br />I did not fret <br />I let you dance all around me <br />I danced all about you too <br />You took in the best of me <br />And I take in the best of you <br /> <br />Home is where you're safest <br />But outside you found the truth <br />That home is where troubles are <br />Forgotten <br />It’s a place for me and you<br /><br />Heather Kristina Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-place-for-me-and-you/
