and she asked

and she asked

A Poem by keith
"

are you a good man

"

and she asked

and she asked ... 'are you a good man?'
i gave pause 
and she asked ... 'do you want me?'
i gave pause
and she asked ... 'will you love me forever?'
i gave pause
and she asked ... 'do you hear what i'm say'in?'
i gave pause
and she asked ... 'do you love me?'
i gave pause
and she asked ... 
i gave pause as i surely did not know
and i gave pause as i surely did not know
