Him

I love him:
He whispers to my soul,
Caresses my mind;
His touches set me alight.

I hate him:
He ignites my fury,
Freezes my heart;
His words hurt me inside.

I need him:
He warms my blood,
Craves my body;
His moves mimic my own.

I want him:
He calms my emotions,
Soothes my wounds;
His presence removes my pain.

I miss him:
He haunts my dreams,
Scorns my love;
His memory's imprinted in me.
