Love Poem: Toxic

Toxic

I am ToXiC 
I make guys eyes wander
I don't do it on purpose
I just have a highly addictive
Almost primitive innate sex appeal
I give away my ToXiC dosages in small amounts
Yet boys. Oh these boys. They get high off little drops. 
I make them exceed the limits 
Have them looking even 
when their girl friends are around
It's not my fault 
That's just how it goes down
I am ToXiC 
To the male chromosome 
They develop this need for me
 like a baby 
freshly out the womb
Waiting to suck a tit
They eye me 
In the back of their minds
thinking about the time and place
But never once have I given in to these suggestions
Maybe this is why no guy chooses to wife me 
Is my beauty really a curse?
Am I ToXiC to myself? 
Do they really see me as worth the time 
Once I tell them I am not some hoe
I am simply a dime piece
Waiting to be held
I don't understand 
     Where am I going wrong?
