David II

I thought that all I needed was you
But what we had wasn't love, but infatuation
Obsession
A craving for something physical
A craving for a feeling that would only last a little while.
And yet, there I was, giving you all of my heart,
Every ounce of my being was placed in your hands.
And what a mistake that was.
You not only caused pain and misery, 
You caused me to lose a part of me that I cannot get back,
No matter how hard I pray and plead.
You made me feel less-
Worthless
Lifeless...
All because of one little touch

Love and lust are two different things that I think were very well differentiated in this poem. The affects of this pain however, is unforgettable. I love how you said "All because of one little touch" at the end there. It was very powerful and moving and so very accurate. One touch can give someone the impression that they are in love, when in truth, they only want that touch and nothing else. It's sad but also very real. Thank you for bringing light to this painful subject and allowing a gateway into how the heart feels when it is confused between the two and given the consequences. Very well done!
