love me like i belong
i do not fit
but here i sit
and refuse to be removed
countless times
you’ve read it
what need more
is there to edit?
i mess up the flow
have no profound meaning to add or show
adjectives pretend to be my friends
but honestly are much too clingy
and those obnoxious adverbs affect me quite adversely
but do not…do not replace me
with those presumptuous ellipses
i do not rhyme
and have no rhythm
but i have been here so very long
so just love me
like i belong
