Treat with Me

Treat me like an old writer with a young man's body,
Treat me like my white bread nearly trickles the floor,
Treat me like your favorite grandfather,

Treat me and entreat with me,

Treat me like an oxford don,
Treat me with kisses and love unrequited,
Treat me like I know and have known,
Treat me like we sit in a room illuminated by candles,
Treat me like and with peaceful music plays,
Treat me like the rain is tremendous outside, and we are quietly alone,
Treat me like reality is whatever I write it to be,
Treat me like a famous old writer,
Treat me as I talk on for hours,
Treat me as you are the one enrapt by my words,
Treat me with closeness and holding hands,
Treat me like I could never hurt you,
Treat me with endless questions--which I answer with glee--
Treat me with plentiful cups of hot tea and cider,
Treat me with respect,
Treat me with treating never done,
Treat me like I am the only one that matters,
Treat me with kindness and closeness,
Treat me with happiness and devotion,

Most of all treat just entreat with me.
