Love Me

Love me
As I am
As you wish me to be
Love me 
As a man
The one of whom you dream
Love me
In the night
When your eyes close
And you dream
And you call out my name

Love me
When no one else will
When the worst is the best I can do
Love me
When it’s a thrill
Exciting and new
Love me
In good and bad
The best we had or ever will
In the dark and light
Morning noon and night

I love you 
You must love me
It’s the way things go
The way it must be
Love me
A command I beg
Don’t put the chicken before the egg
Hear this plea
I love you
Love me

This is for a dVerse prompt: Use at least one line in the imperative mood in your poem.

“In poetry and prose, the imperative mood dissolves the barrier between the assumed persona and the reader by its direct address of demand, instruction, or persuasion, …

we English speakers often operate in three grammatical moods which describe the way a verb is used: the indicative, the subjunctive, and the imperative. Simply put, the indicative is a statement/question, the subjunctive is a wish, and the imperative is a demand.”

Hope you enjoy! 😊
