An Ode of You

Oh sweetheart, dear darling, you helped me to grow
All the years I looked to you- And when, did I know?
A longing, desire, unforgivable love had sprung on me
Yet all I can see, precious, is what I regret will never be.

Eyes of blue that captured me, with soon I was enchanted
You treated me as equal, but I took you for granted-
Infatuated by the impossible, the magic of it all
When did you trip me- Cause me to fall?



The stability with which you held me up had me gripping you so tightly,
I drank the feeling of attention- Intoxicated, slightly.
This aching, this wanting, just makes it stronger still
If withdrawal doesn’t kill me, then I don’t know what will.

But your total physique and your frustrating cheek
Are few on the list of what makes me feel weak-
For your rough callused hands which once I thought I knew,
Simply confirm that I hate to love you.
