A vindictive poem about a scorned woman who wants to know what it would take to have the love of her heart back in her life.

Name Your Price 

What would it take 

to be held in your arms again? 

Tell me so I can make 

a bank withdrawal. 

~ 

What would it take 

to be kissed by those luscious lips again? 

I need to check 

if there's a loan available. 

~ 

What would it take 

to make love to you again? 

My family is connected. 

I'll ask for whatever you say. 

~ 

What would it take 

to belong to you again? 

I think the Queen is a distant relative. 

She's old and may die soon. 

~ 

What would it take . . . 

~ 

Wait just a minute! 

Why am I asking you? 

Shouldn't you be asking me? 

After all who walked away? 

I'm the one waiting. 

~ 

I'm priceless. 

No money on earth 

would be enough to possess me. 

I find value in the love 

we once shared. 

Not on what I can get from you. 

I love with the entire self. 

Not from behind a closed soul 

and a sealed heart. 

~ 

Screw it! 

I'm worth more than 

you'll ever see in a lifetime.
