Tell Me (Rictameter)

by Amanda Bee   Jul 20, 2005


Tell me
Do you love me?
Or is this just a game?
Do you feel tremors in your heart
Whenever you hear the sound of my name?
Let the words tumble from your mouth
And roll off your sweet lips
Don't hold back, just
Tell me

    Good job once again. I like the way you seem to be pleading with the person for an answer.
