kamikaze me

By disposable

i find myself obsessing
his kind words go a long way
they fill my eyes
and give me tunnel vision
and thought
for just
him

like a moth to flame
im drawn until my wings begin to singe
if i had known
there would be such a light there
i might have tried to look away
i could have stood a chance
had i any warning

but he was there
sweet and unassuming
with patient hands
and a half empty heart
one raised eye brow and small smile
and i had no choice
but to chance it

What a sweet, sweet poem. I loved the opening presentation also, ending with just the word (him), it really emphasised the importance. Nice write :-)
