I'm worth it...because of you

 

 

I’m worth it…because of you

 

Of worth, I wonder, oh I plead

This man of very simple means

Alone in truth my love does bear

If only you were here with me

 ~

A tiny touch of fingertips

Invokes desire to my glow

A brush against your supple lips

My blood a’ boil, starts to flow

 ~

So tight within your arms I see

My place, the world I long to share

O’ cast of shimmering moon beam

Now shines upon your autumn hair

 ~

Of eyes so dark, intense thy form

In prayers ago, to find me true

Cold winters fierce, I’ll keep you warm

To cry, I’m so in love with you

 ~

So am I worth what I so need

I stand before this evening light

With scars where once my life did bleed

An anguished soul of sorted sight

 ~

To dream in darkness shedding fear

Till death does come to find my day

I’m worth it if your love is near

Within my heart along the way
