Left Wasting

Nonet

I said this time would be different

I wanted him to feed my soul

Link our hearts using an IV

Circulate love and peace

He grew dependent

My love, his drug

He drained me

Left me

Starved

    Very relatable. Everyone wants love and to be able to love but when it’s not returned it gets so draining. Very beauriful
