[If I Give Myself Over] a poem

I’ll give myself to you;
and if that’s all I ever do, I’ll give myself to you


If my giving myself to you is not a gift you
are unsure of wanting,
then take it regardless,
discard it at will,
as long as you promise me,
from a man who adores you
to a woman who adores only temporary stimulation,
that someday,
you’ll find something more than what I’ve given
in vain
