Iv Never Been
Iv never been.
if this is what addiction feels like than maybe I do
get it .
the need to use again after each dose , I always need
another hit .
then there’s the withdrawal the longer u go , the more
u feel like u can’t handle it .
One more I need to see you knowing you shouldn’t but
you’re feeling bad so you risk it.
Knowing the aftermath however u can’t think rationally
let alone realistic .
But here I am to say I only relate to this from love.
Cause the day you left i realized I was an addict.
Feeling afraid and running from the truth that i
predicted.
“I’m not your enemy “ is a sentence that I thought
would always be contradicted. because, in this weren’t
you my drug ? I felt close to death when we would
become distant.
Because I’m never really right when we’re not
consistent.
And isn’t that , how it feels to be addicted? Iv never
been addicted but if this is what it feels like , then
maybe I do get it .
Cause if your love was a pill ?. I’d continue to take
it , A prescription always needing a fill , if you
were my drug , would i always be a victim .
Drowning but wide awake from it .fighting but not
really able to get loose from it . So to say if this
was addiction id consider I’ve lost to it .
Nevertheless it’s a good thing this narrative isn’t
all to this. Just a poem in anthology, another chapter
in this book .
Even so , if you were my drug I’d willingly take it
and stay hooked .
