Nickie I was lost and alone a fragile shell held together with thin copper wires and distant friends Then I found you You were a light in the darkness I was drawn to you like a moth to a flame You needed me Then I held you You gave me a choice Life or no life Hope or no hope I chose Then I kissed you Your kisses and caresses burned my skin like fire driving away the blackness surrounding me Giving back what had been lost Then I loved you You awoke my spirit You gave me hope You gave me life You gave me a dream Now I am yours Pete Poem "Nickie" copyright: P.
