Moth To A Flame

Distracted by your charming smile
As your sharp tongue
Strikes the fatal blow
Attracted to your fiery spirit
Though was met with an inferno
You drew me to you
Only to keep me at an arms length
I missed that teasing look
The one that dared me to love you
I came so close to you only to be denied
And the ache still returns on those Lonely Days
I know I have to respect your choice
But it doesn't mean I have to approve
I'll admit I was blissfully blind
To your glances coincidentally in his direction
Or how you tensed at my touch
And gracefully evaded my questions
I overlooked this because
Who can resist their pleasant torture
Now we look at each other with that knowing gaze
Aware that there could have been an "us"
Speaking with undertones
Of embarrasment and dissapointment
And even despite his presence
Maybe we just weren't meant
Though I can't help wondering 'what if'
Knowing I shouldn't be thinking about you like this
But I do it anyways

    "I missed that teasing look

    dang, I like how you used the words that made this poem. the person keeps drawing you in just to ignore you and make you wait for them. people and their selfishness. gawd.

    Very nice write. I love how you put it in there that you can't help but wonder about 'what if''s and that even though you shouldn't think about it, you still do. I really liked the poem it's very very good and I thank you for entering it into this contest

    I like this write, I think that the feeling of lost love is very well protrayed here, even though it didn't as far as you would have liked. I think the flow was nice as well! THank you for entering this into my contest and best of luck to you!

    Very nicely written, still extremely blunt but with a style of class and beautiful word techniques. Thank you for your entry!
