Damn You

Drawn to you, 
Always drawn to you,
Can't I ever let you go, 
I don't love you, 
But I need you, 
I can't give you what you want, 
Me, forever, 
But I can always give you a part, 
My body, on fire, 
Clutching to you always, 
Knowing perhaps there will never be another, 
I'll love again, that I'm sure of, 
But will I feel this heat again, this passion, 
This surge of power running thru me, 
This desire and need, 
I don't think I will and that scares me, 
Can I love again knowing it's just a matter of time,
Before I come crawling back, 
Needing you, to make me whole again, 
To bring my body back to life, 
Knowing I can't trust anyone like I do you, 
I can't give myself totally to anyone but you, 
I can't be crazy, be wild, be sexual, 
With anybody but you!
Damn You!
