Inspire Me

Tell me stories about your childhood

and everything that you hold close to your heart

trust me with your most haunting secret

the one that you can’t talk about even to yourself

and be patient with me

while I gather up the courage to tell you mine

kiss me on the mouth

and tell me how pretty I am

then again and again until I believe you

lay with me in these bed sheets

and caress my body with your fingertips

despite my lack of self-esteem

help me figure out the meaning

behind the wretched look in my eyes

and be my cure for happiness

make me fall in love with you

like I could never fall in love with the world

and as my pen hovers over this empty page

give me something beautiful to write about

Inspire me

Now this is what I should have posted as the job requirements of a Muse. The position is still vacant but now I know what I need.

This is a great write as always. A common confusion here between lay and lie, in this case it would be more correct to say lie.

Laura what can I say about this one that no one below me has said? It is truly beautiful and speaks so much... I think this is one of my favourites from you.
