The Offer

a generous offer is what it was –
one that would remove us from
this little plastic and metallic box
and speed us into the real world.

an offer that would place me
within arms reach and
staring into your intense gaze –
looking for the smallest of signs.

waiting to reach out and feel
the warmth of your hand
enveloping my small one –
needing to feel that in my soul.

do I take the offer? do I go for it?
the answer hangs in the balance –
do I say yes or do I say no?
the answer is up to you.
