Nothing to Offer

I have nothing to offer this man
yet he takes everything I own,
I have nothing to offer-yet he calls my house
his home.
 
For what I had was stripped away
when my last lover left,
just faded memories and the world he left in a mess.
 
I have nothing to offer this man
so strong but shy in lust
not that he wants it anyway, he runs
away from my love.
 
And If I ask him to stay I have nothing left to give,
can't promise him the world, can't promise him kids.
 
I have nothing to offer this man
for he came with nothing at all,
I have nothing to offer this man,
so I won't even call.

  1. Nice prose.

    Sounds like a sista who has came to grips.
