Addiction I

The edges of my heart have sloughed
From the immersion in your drama
This might not have a good endpoint 
I want to stop imagining your eulogy
See my sister as I saw her once
See that there was good in her
She was tough and fragile and cruel and kind
I say goodbye to you every day
Are you still here?

That is what it does indeed.... I don't fight this myself, but my boyfriend does. So well worded in this poem.
