It's devastating to find out you're only valued for your looks, when you know that you are so much more. All comments welcome.


Boy...
Enamored you gaze...lustful
And hungry--devouring my body
With one glance;
That's all it takes,
You're hooked; Insatiable.
Addicted, Obsessing
Junkie.
Desires overwhelming,
Uncontrollable urge;
Your own personal fantasy
Made flesh;
Worshipped and adored,
Perverse and divine.
Fiend.

But you can't have me.

I think to value someone on their looks is just superficial and I never could deal well with that..You expressed this well in your poem. Beauty comes in so many forms...I look inside...Nice work!!

thanks all for your support, this one will be printed in a book put out by the national library of poetry, so look for me.
