A collaboration with Ricky Venel:
Could you love?
Could you receive like you give to me
From me?
Could you love again?
Would you want to?
You seem to be uptight again
Fighting the fight again
Hurting yourself
Working on dying again
Could you pick up your pen and
Write a different chapter to your so-called story
Yes I could, but
Could you love me again like I loved you back
When you didn't prompt me those words
I liked to act true to
Could you befriend me again?
Get to know me a little intimately?
Could you?
Love...
Could you?
I
Ask
You
Can you ever love me for me?
For the me that cries when a stranger child is hurt
Can you love me when I am sad
Without me having a reason to be?
Can you see me as I am and not as Ms. Emotional?
For the me that is internally defected and dying
Can you love me even when I am weak?
Can you see me as who I really am
And not how you think I am?
Could you love me coz I love you
Especially when your vexing with me
Especially when I'm in the wrong life
Especially when you're making me jealous?
Could you stop making me jealous?
Do you like being jealous?
Could you hold me
Instead of molding me
Into a gender likeness of you?
Could you speak to me in truth?
Because I know you!
Could you speak to me without shifting your eyes
When I penetrate them into my soul
Could you?
Please listen!
Can you stop pointing fingers for awhile
I'm trying to look deep into your heart
Can you consider what I've to say for once in your life
Boy, do you want to be on what I feel?
It looks so easy, it's not that easy
It should be simple but have you ever tried
Being me?
No!
Could you love?
Could you receive like you give to me
From me?
Could you love
...Again?
I tried all I could to keep us alive
But nothing I do is good enough for you
And everything I do, you take me for granted
With you assuming that I am the mannequin
You've expected
For all my life I wanted to keep a part of you
But you push me farther and farther away
It's so meaningless as
Our love has become hollow as the O in LOVE
You can never love me for me
For the me that is in turmoil and screaming within
You can't love me even when I am in
The healing stage from the past
You can't see me as I am
And not as Ms. Optimistic
For the me that is with you in happiness and melancholy times
You can't love me even when we live in different worlds
Can you see me as I am and not only as your soul mate?
I never asked you to believe in me
But just for once
Could you...?
Can you ever love me for me...?
Yes I could!
Could you allow me to?
Could you receive like you give to me
From me?
Please!
Could you love again?
Would you want to?
Could you trust me?
Coz I love you
But we're going nowhere.
Really...
Could you?
