Raw Love

I loved him like a bee loves flowers
searching for something sweet
only making bitter honey

I loved him like a toe
loves hitting the table leg in the dark

I loved him like sticky legs
on leather seats in August

I loved him like a addict needs a fix
never finding a needle

I loved him like a sock loves a shoe
falling down
heal raw

He loved me like a spider loves a fly
wrapping me in his web

He loved me how a wolf loves the chase
clawing away at me

He loved me like tom loves jerry
just trying to catch me in his trap

He loved me
like he had all the time in the world

He loved me like he had nothing better to do

My love for him was waves crashing on the shore

Missing what he used to be
I wait for him

I loved the way he looked, but not at me
never looking at me
Now looking at his new prey to chase
a new bee buzzing around his flower
