A tinge of burning
Crawling up me
I crave it when you’re gone
-
I’ve always loved the smell of your cologne
Wrapped up woods and sweat
I crave it when you’re gone
-
The ticking grows louder
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Fire in my core
-
You are the bomb
At the center of my life
And I’m searching for a match
-
I’ve always craved fire, flames
Licking my feet
And loving the taste
-
The promise of you alights me
A blaze within my stomach
-
I’ve always craved the flames
The spritely dance
All else is fodder
-
The promise of you burns me up
-
The seconds tick faster
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Flares before my eyes
-
You are the bomb
At the center of my life
And I’m searching for a match

Incredible work. I like the very direct nature of it. Your poem gets to the point, grabs the reader, and draws them in.
