When Love Sucks

You came in a flash
And immediately
You're gone.
You caused havoc
To my being
I felt like a pawn.
I gave you my blood
When you thirst
For it.
Stopped myself
A million times
Not to scratch the itch.
Was afraid
To hurt you with
The palm of my hand.
The bittersweet love
You offered
I tried to withstand.
But you left
Like the others once
You got what you need.
Didn't linger
One second though
I cried and plead.
Loving is not giving
But just taking
And breaking.
I never should
Have loved you
Now I'm empty, aching.
(An ode to a mosquito who bit me a long time ago. )

It's a very nice poem, though bug bites really suck, especially sand nats or as my mother used to call them no seem', because you felt them but didn't see them. Misquitos though are the worst.
