sometimes you sweep me off my feet sometimes under the rug you hail me as a godess then you treat me like a bug Sometimes in greed you breathe me in sometimes you just exhale I'm grabbed and tossed both equally which mood will now prevail? You draw me close when needs arise your hands quick to undress and then when you have had your fill you shun the sweet caress this schizophrenic crazy love is driving me insane but when I try to let you go I miss your pleasured pain.

Yes love can be an addiction but well worth the pain. Ooh la la hot! Some great lines Eileen. Hugs Rick.

Hi, Richard. I'm more the obsessive type of lover myself. Thanks for the read and lovely comment. I wanted to really bring about the extremes in this write. Hugs

I myself prefer a passionate but less manic form of the disease.

I'm not sure this is love, is it? I think a lot of people don't even know what love is, Eileen. I have known people like this and I can tell you, it is a very tumultuous relationship. Superb write but very sad.

It's a crazy version of it, Daniel. True love....is the one that's written about in I Corinthians 13. This is just an extreme write to show that even though some people are in abusive types of relationships...it's hard to break away perhaps because that is the kind of "love" they understand. Yes, it is sad. Hugs

You call this tongue-in-cheek but too many live this unfulfilling life. I think love is also a disease of the heart because that's where the affliction begins. Pains of love can be so bittersweet. Eileen, well written as are all of your offerings.

It's true, Lin. Many people do suffer through this. Bittersweet is the proper description I tried to capture with this write. Thanks ever so much for your visit, dear. Hugs

Hi Eileen, Relationships can be just like you described. Like a mad rollercoaster . One day he treats me like a Queen and the next second he treats me like a peasant. We shouldn't have to just "settle". Excellent write:-) Alexis

Hi, dear. I guess whether or not someone has the strength to get off the roller coaster depends on the extent to which one can't live without the love of that particular someone. No one should have to "settle" but many do. Thanks for the visit, dear. Hugs
