Need Poem by Paul Cutting

They say its just chemistry the way that I feel
the distance between me and the lover I desire
the presents of her absences lives with me
there is nothing else that can quench the burning fire

yes need is the word as I ponder of her smile
my empty arms seem useless with out her to hold
how are they strong and powerless by my side
as the minutes turn to hours another day has died

yes the taste of her runs away now my favorite meal
my eye see things dim from the void of her sight
how could they not see the one vision that would heal
as time drags the burden turning day into night

yes I groan and I curse the Gods to articulate my plight
how long can I breathe breath without a glimpse of her silhouette
her caressing my face so I can inhale again her fragrance
as misery envelops me to an unknown distant end

beware cupids arrow is my warning to my friends
