Old Teenage Poems - Refusing to be just another girlfriend

If I am only a temperary substitute
in the darkest shadows of your desire
Then why does your every touch
Place me so much higher

If I am someone who's presence
you will never miss
Why do you tell me you need me
within every kiss

If I am but a wish of yours,
a childish dream within
Then why are you such a saint
and I'm you only sin

If you think I am
Only what meets the eye
Then of what use
Would you other senses be
