a poem about the frustration of love

I want you wrapped around my finger

I want to be in control 

Dangle a treat in front of you

then snatch it away

I want to leave you

wanting more

I am beautiful

I am sensual

I want you running after me

What do I have to do

Let me inhibit your senses

Let your guard down

Let me in

Be willing to let me

seep my poison into your skin

I can love you 

like no woman has loved you

But I can run away

I can keep it

I will make you

want it

So let me wrap you around my finger

Be putty in my hands

I am small

But I am powerful

So let the little lion bite

and see

what happens next
