I Cannot Ask of You

by Lady Juicy-Scorpio - Not entered

I could ask you to stop the sun
from rising in the east,
Or drive a sword right through the heart
of a fearsome savage beast.

I could ask you to walk a million miles
to the moon and back again
I could ask you to swim up to the point 
the river waters end.

I could ask you to do anything
and there's almost nothing you wouldn't do
But I know that there is one thing
I'd never dare to ask of you.

For if I made this simple request
You'd turn and walk away
And I'd just run and cry, knowing
there's nothing I can say.

So I could ask you for the universe
and I know you'd place it at my feet
But I'd give up all the world for you
If only you'd love me.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this about a guy I was seeing whom I was really in love with even though he was just using me.
