It's never enough

I’m left alone with wine and cigarettes

tonight, wondering if I have regrets

I yearned to know the taste of lips on lips,

desired nothing else besides your hands

to caress my cheek, my waist, my finger tips

With ease, it seemed, you met all my demands

You gave me passion only found by few

I crave it now, so nothing else will do

By light of day the torture can be veiled

A smile, a game, assorted hollow things

conceal my actual thoughts ‘til daylight’s failed

By night I feel what disappointment brings
