PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There are men that I could have,

And mouths that I could kiss,

And hands that reach out to me,

But I want none of this –

Instead I love what I can’t have-

And still, it’s always you.

I give to you and no one else.

But you don’t want me to...

Instead you take what you can get-

Just use me up -

And leave the rest

I’m not confused, I know the game.

And still I play it-

All the same.

And let you into sacred tombs-

Where many there have said my name

But still it’s you and only you

Who gives me all this pain!
