I Am Here, Come Get Me

I am here come get me
you've wanted me so long
for years you begged
to join in a love song

Now is the time
lest's see what we make
Making myself available
for you to have and take

I am here
come get me

Do with me as you wish
shall I wait on my knees
lay flat on my back or
are you just a tease

All those things you've said
when I was safely held
were they just your way
of wishing we could meld

I am here
come get me

Why hesitate now
when you fed me such a line
now that I am free
no longer speak so fine

What is it
did you come to a spot in jest
pretending, hoping
you'd be better than the rest

I am here
come get me

The entanglements
you so easily created
now dangle on a limb
failing to make me sated.

What is it you lack
the brave spirit must be gone
now that I am sitting here
you refuse to get it on.

I am here
come get me

All those years of begging
I took note of your pain
now I am being available
seemed to have gone insane

What's up with that
a sudden bout with fright
now that I am making ready
to share a lustful night

I am here
come get me

That talk about your tongue
the magic of each touch and feel
were they imaginations of jealousy
when you knew it could not be real

Come on woman, I am here
why break the cycle at this time
Might it be you were in a lustful fog
upon reading my lover's poems of rhyme.

I am here
come get me.
