To Love Me

To Love me is easy 

My mother did it first

then a boy who didn’t know

his way 

who will never speak to me again

runs away from his birth name 

Then a young, confident groom

and others began to claim

they loved me when tears fell

on the floor 

they scattered, the men like

broken glass some stayed intact

like the titanic on the ocean floor

to love me will not make you

drown however,

it may save your life.Image
