"Her charming come-hithers" is good. The rest so-so.
Forced rhymes: sneese-please, three-be
An often-told tale of aging, but nicely told.
Second to last verse is very nice.

I'm glad I'm not your woman. I'd hate to be gushed over like this.
I see the nails-wounds thing, but how is her surface in your limbs is like Christ on electrodes?
Way overwritten. You could say this in half the words and make it much better. It is overly..um...mushy, but theres some to salvage here. Just cut it in half.
1) They're never as good as you think they will be.
2) You already know that.
3) Usually I cringe every time I read one of yours knowing that it's going to be the same old thing. For some reason, I actually kind of like this one. Don't ask me why, but I do.
Ok, I can dig this. I seem to remember on one of mine not so long ago, you saying that you're the person you always wanted to be...maybe not the exact words. Anyway, simply put and not bad.
Well, you use good imagery, even if it doesnt always make perfect sense.
Too much obviously forced rhyme.
Oh god...
I would Ke-Ke, but I don't date thee ethnic.
i know you all tire of reading overly mushy poems but its valentines day so i thought if there was any day for this poem it was today.
Nice little list of things to never do. I wrote a similar one a while back called "32 Truths and 1 Lie". Some good advice here, but what if you HAVE to stay in one place longer than one hour? Sorry, just giving a hard time. Not too bad.
"Her cough sounds like mornings": great.
Good observations here. I actually enjoyed it.
I'm sorry, but this is just irritating to try to read. I can appreciate you're trying to be original here, but this sort of thing just makes it bad. Just stick to the basics and write the poem.
Yours are always interesting. I'll give you that.
