The Recovery

Many nights
In the deepest depths of darkness
I wandered
In limbo, like a lost soul,
A demon
Drowning in dreary doom,
Drained of life,
Starved of love,
And fiending for a cure.

I saw your light
And fell.
You caught me,
Saved me.
You pleased me
Teased me.
Rendering a remedy,
The only one
You knew,
Had.
Injecting me,
Infecting me,
With your sweet
Venom,
I was your test.
Though
You freed me,
No longer needed me,
You cast me out
Carrying your cancer
And once again
I walk the dark nights,
Your poison still
Instilled,
Sinking deeper
Into sweet delusion,
In my recovery
From love
Again.
