Can't Buy Me Love

Let this be
a paradox to
The Beatles song.
I know I
shouldn't want
these things,
I know that it
is wrong.
But it seems
you value more,
the money that
you make.
I think that I
deserve a sign
for our
relationship's sake.
I've never been
one to ask,
I'm not a selfish person.
But if you
fail to cherish me
I'll be hurt,
that's for certain.
So dig into your
precious piles.
Make an honest start.
Get something
to symbolize,
your feelings
from the heart.
It need not be
expensive.
No diamond rocks
or gold.
It just need
represent,
the value I behold.
