Wool

He thought she loved him as the dense clouds of wool filled his mind, but she was there for only one thing, to fleece him of his money. A dyed in the wool sex addict, an easy mark, she knew his kind, but he knew her too, every penny was worth her soft fleecy skin, sweet as honey. She gave herself to him as he let the wool cover his eyes, part of the game, he wasn't blind.

I think the cost may be deeper than money, and I must admit I'm glad I can't. Thanks for the great comment.

ahhh, you went crazy with wool and expressions of it. LOVE it. I was thinking of doing this kind of poem too until the other idea came to me. WELL DONE, my friend. And thanks for all the reads you gave me. Wish I had time to explore more of your poems. I have two days of comments trying to catch up on. I hope I saved a copy of when you told me other poems of yours I have not read. Please remind me of one again!!

Thanks for the visit, Nette. Relationships can sometimes be very complicated and what may seem strange and unhealthy to us is normal to others.
