Would You Love Me More

a poem about unrequited love

Would you love me more
If I were the plants?
Rich greens, fiery reds, pure whites
Fueling the fresh air, rooting the deep ground
And signing a bright new world
Would you sit amongst me, taking in my beauty?
Would you let me in, and breathe life into you?
As you breathe into me?

Would you love me more
If I were the weather?
Dark, easy skies when your eyes hurt
Cooling, soothing, pattering rain when it's too warm outside
Beaming, beating sun rays when you're feeling cold
Would you look upwards and find shapes in my clouds?
Would you admire me in all of my states?
As I admire all of you?

Would you love me more
If I were your favourite meal?
Fresh vegetables and fruits, to heal your body
Perfectly-cooked meats, to fill your stomach
And perfectly seasoned just how you like it
Would you tell everyone about how good I make you feel?
Would you let my presence comfort you,
As yours does mine?

Would you love me more, I wonder
If I were perfectly crafted to your desires?
The perfect personality, the perfect face and body
Voice, gender, hobbies, and every word perfect and timed just right
Dedicated to you, everything for you
If I can't be what you desire now
If I was anything else
Everything else
Would you love me back?
