One dose of you does me in.
I'm still weak for you as I’ve never been.
So many years without a taste...
Does it make sense that nothing has changed?
I ache for you, for just a drop..
A sip, or maybe a shot...
But poison, it is fatal.
And with you, I am not stable.
You make me forget what I am doing...
You and your venomous way of wooing.
My heart, my soul, my body, it is addicted...
But this is not good, its something wicked.
I need truthfulness, I need light.
And with you - all we do is hide.
Poison to me, its what you are.
You get inside me and we go too far.
I can not even have just one drop...
Oh, how I wish my heart forgot!

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Its like being stuck in a vicious circle, where every temptation makes the addiction worse. I feel for you. I was there once, and it isn't as easy as some people think it is to break the cycle, but you can do it. Thank you for writing about a struggle that usually, only the people struggling can know what it is truly like to go through.
Oh, how I wish my heart forgot! Sames 😂
Gosh this was extremely relatable! Loved your poem!
