I know it isn’t easy
As I was not your choice
Romance wrenched away from you
A mouth without a voice

I know you view me with contempt
But you, I do appease
I promise I can make you happy
Can you love me, please?

Heartache, heartbreak
These you could dispel
If only you would yield a little
But I know you all too well.

If you could see the good in me
As I do see in you
You might catch a glimpse, a spark
You may just love me too.
