My Drug

I never liked drugs, but then you showed up and I needed you the way most people need drugs. To forget. I didn’t like the idea of being so sad and so hurt to the point of needing a mind-altering substance to forget the pain for a little while but damn you took me to another world. You got me so high when we were together, I forgot everything that’s ever hurt me, all the heartache and pain was washed away. Hell, I forgot who I was for a minute. Your eyes pierced my skin while your smile took over my mind and your laugh danced around my lungs and stole my heart. You didn’t even know what you were doing. All you had to do was say my name and I’d melt. My gosh, you were anything and everything I’ve always wanted and you didn’t even know. You just sat there all innocently.
