the only man

oh kay

your cigarette smoke consumes me

filling my heart with your fumes  

burning my eyes

 causing little droplets to build up walls,

blocking my view of anything other than you

 

my brain has crumbled to a small mound of dust

my fingers are stiff

because I know they won't be touching your pale skin

 

you showed me what it was to be loved

to be wanted and cherished 

but I was simply a moth drawn to a blue light

 

who am I to love if not you?

who will love me if not you?

    This is top rate poetry. Penned with so much feeling. Fabulous metaphors. You are an artist with a pen . Well done.

    A poem that oozes with need for love. Who will love you if not this one the answer is you yourself. A most wonderful poem of feelings we all have to a lessor or greater extent.
