Needs Not Met


We made love last night,
in the darkness of his room.
We let the feelings of desire,
that we had locked up, loose.
His body was soft and calm,
irresistible, and even loving.

I shook from nervousness,
for I knew it was wrong.
He doesn't love me
the way I love him.
I couldn't get this thought
of out of my mind.

He was the one I had craved.
The one I always wanted.
But I didn't want us to come
together like this.
In a sexual rage, drunken
by the desire of our own wants.

And as soon as the act
was finally completed,
I quietly walked to another
room and cried over his love.
For his desires were met,
but mine were left untouched.

All I wanted was for him
to love me in a heartfelt way.
To have feelings for me,
other than want.
I know I ask for a lot,
but can he not need me.

Can he not need to feel
my touch, like I need feel his.
Can he not see how much
I need him in troubled times.
Can he not feel when I'm
hurting and suffering.

All I wanted from him was
a connection between us.
All I needed was a love that
lasted longer than one night.
All I craved was him to touch
me with a small bit of feelings.

We made love last night,
in the darkness of his room.
And let the feelings of desire,
that we had locked up, loose.
But only he was granted
satisfaction from the action that occurred.

Nothing could be more heartbreaking, I'm sure, in the love department than a situation like this. So sad.

Thanks for the responses. I started not to post this poem, but now that I have, I'm happy I did. I've been having this terrible luck with guys here lately and that's what I've been writing about. This is the least emotional of most of them. I just seemed to be getting "used" a lot, and I'm upset about allowing myself to let it happen. But, thanks again for the responses. I apreciate it.
