I Am A Woman With Needs

A day like this, Oh who am i to fool
it's every day that's a day like this when

I want a man's love

and more.

I want all his love

and I've got to be his only love

and I wonder how I ask for too much
when all I want is to be the first

not only the first
I have to be the best

woman he has ever loved
and every day he must remind me

even when he stops.

and any man would be fortunate to be the recipient of such love. I like the change in voice throughout the piece. Except I disagree with one thing. Because if a man is to love as described in this poem, my only question is... would it EVER really stop? even after death? I believe his love would still exist within your heart so.... Can it really stop? If he's reached capacity to give you ALL his love. :)

And oh how I am reminded of so many *wonderful* relationships I've had with insane creatures. Thanks. Thanks for ruining my day.

Even when he stops. that will be called love

[See ya]

I am that man.
My love never ends---- it will never stop. She had what you long for in this poem---but she had to let me go for reasons unknown.
Find an evolved man with Venus in Scorpio and you will be loved forever.

That poem is my soul mate.

I like the segmented format and how you put it together. This is a good poem

beautiful work. it has curves.

[Alessander]

I like the format - it's like the emotional optimistic side is on the left, and the logical pessimistic side is on the right. The very last line I think saves this piece from a fairy-tale wish to a more mature reconciliation. I would like a bit more figurative language, as another reviewer pointed out, it's pretty straight-forward, but it's still good nevertheless.

Experience tells me that every woman is in search of this.
and every man is in fear of this.. For me personally it should
be a 50/50 split..I really enjoy this...nicely done...

[Patient Poet (Yos)]

This is maybe one of the best love poems I read lately , nothing more should be said , its true, we need to feel that feeling , that we are the best love, that we are the first, we need to feel special , even if we are not ,... Yossi
