WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?

Do you crave from me sweet words?
Then a failure am I, for the strings
Of my alluring guitar is taut - presenting me no tune
To sing these words to you.

If lullabies you wish to listen to,
A failure also am I,
For my night isn't nigh and my voice is croaky,
Too crude to be used.

Mind you,
This isn't a poem,
But an heart poured on paper,
Sounding inquisitive yet emotional.
This is a piece that might make or mar
A peace dwelling in the heart of a peace bearer - me.
This is a piece that decides my future
In this journey of mine into your world.

This is a piece that embeds its meaning between its lines,
But with courage am I here,
Breaking through these lines
To feed you ears
The question this piece seeks to ask;
WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?

I am Emmanuel
