Deserving a good serving

A halo for the angel
A medal for the winner
A cake for the birthday boy
A kiss for the sinner
Redeem my true essence
I deserve better
Maybe something like,
A candle lit dinner?

Better than your whips and bullets
Better than your swipes and scorns
Naked I stand before you
Wrap me up with petals not thorns

With no attire I stand cold
Under the icicles of your angry hood
Tread softly mister, please,
This is a friendly neighborhood

You in mine
Me in yours
Our lives have graciously kept the scores
Two touches and a smile
A thousand moments in my filo file
And you say that you’re not there?
My love, you’re there
And everywhere…
