The Addict

~This poem is about addiction; what it does to the mind, and what it does to the people at the receiving end of the addict's ways. I've been an addict and I have been at the hands of addicts and ex addicts. It's a vile illness and will affect the victim(s) forever.~

I want more
Give me more
Make it quick,
Every day
Give it now
I don't care how
I want it now
I want it my way

I'll forget you
Other people too
I can do just fine
On my own
Life is just me
Leave me be
In this bubble
That I call home

What?
You feel?
You don't
That's what I do
I deserve
You just serve
You are nothing
We are through

No, wait
I can't take
The complete lack of
Your company
Please come back
Or else I'll crack
I need you
And you need me

Great, you're mine
We'll do just fine
I'll do my thing
And you do yours
But really no
I don't think so
You'll be my pet
With chained up paws

Just another day
You let me play
You give me some
And I take more
How perfect is this?
Eternal bliss
Until you showed
Me that door

No, you can't
We had a bond
It was strong
I wasn't too much
Now I'm scared
And unprepared
For this world
Without my crutch

You are wrong
You are hated
How dare you
Abandon me
I'll never learn
I'd rather burn
Than be free
Don't pity me

This is who i am

I have not been saved. I have not been forgiven. I thought i was lost. I thought i was broken. I felt hopeless and empty inside. Save me from me and myself. I don't want to burn in this firey hell.

I'm Dead Again

It's just science. It's just nature. It's just logic. Point A leads to point B. Cause and effect. Action and result. Like 3 - 2 = 1. You do it, and it follows. So I did it. It didn't follow.

Behind Walls

Behind the walls, Collecting, pondering it all. Afraid to look down, I know I'll fall. Inside the walls, I hear it all. Whispers, temptation, cries & calls. Addiction locking itself in.

Self Destruction

Destructing everything in sight On a mission to win the last fight Determination to self destruct All the fears that the nightmares construct.

Torn.

Take my hand and walk with me,. Ill take you on a journey using imagery,. Take a piece of paper tear it in two,. Can you see the image trying to get through,. Take your half and tear it some more,.

Untouchable,. Collapsible,. Unspoken,. Chemicals tainted your insides,. You whispered you were unbroken,. As you shattered your bones,.

Other Drugs

This road is smooth, So I'll make a bump - Slow down the speed, Let the Tarmac crack and grow with weeds, This road is smooth, So perhaps take heed, I make my potholes, I drink the n.e.e.d.....

@Stablish you're welcome! It's a subject I've been drowning in lately. Really needed to let it out :)
