No One Else Compares

No One Else Compares

A Poem by Krista Gallant

Searching among each soul, around every corner

You have escaped me, left bare, confused, darker

Persistently searching for your lips, passion and touch

Seeing you everywhere but you are nowhere as such

 

My spirit has collapsed, throbbing pain so extreme

Desire for being, forever gone, flowing downstream

Your avoidance slashing at my unstable inner being

My tortured essence continuously struggling, haunting

 

All I want is to taste every inch of your delectable skin

To be cradled in your strong arms, to feel safe within   

To revel in your scent, sensing your breath upon my cheek

To lie with you in the aftermath, our bodies could bespeak

 

Shedding countless tears you will by no means witness

Gone with no explanation as I remain with such emptiness

In relation to the consequences of your actions I ache

Your enjoyment, freedom and selfish needs I forsake

 

Desire, love, need, want and reach for me, I beg of you

No one else in this world can make me feel like you do

Confess the truth and praise how you truly felt for me

Don’t escape from reality just to fulfill some greedy need

 

Your anger was frigidly cold and callously condescending

Snuffing my flame to the point I heard my heart breaking

I am emotionally absent, raw and feel like I was used

Life is now obscured and primordial happiness suffused

 

You lied, broke promises, and most of all destroyed me

But despite all of that, I yearn for you - not a carbon copy

I will continue my journey in exploration of someone new

Even if my thoughts are consumed by memories of you
