PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I pulled away from you so often.

I was missing that attraction
and feeling attractive.

Sure you would reach for me,
want to touch me,
but I needed more.

Your kisses were half-assed
and compliments non-existent.

So I learned to reject
your advances however few.

Then we became companions
and never lovers.

We settled into a routine
of not being intimate
and neither seeking it.

So I turned to another
and then another
until I felt beautiful again.

Until someone showed
that they desired me.

And I clung to it
for weeks on end
while I slept next to you.

But I knew this would never
draw me back to you.

It was only taking me
further and further away.
