I'm trying so hard not to be so weak but 
you are getting the best of me. Tear me 
apart and dismantle me, I cannot stop, 
though your not what I need.
You've dissected my thoughts, you are my 
weakness. You are one of my deepest 
dark secrets.
Your stuck in my head, you flow through 
my dreams, one little taste is all I that 
need.
The more I ignore it, the stronger it gets. 
You are a danger, but I ignore all of your 
threats.
Your tearing me down, your making me 
sick, someone please help me, I've lost my 
grip.
Scream in my head and pull at my skin, 
you are the most deadliest sin.
You take away pain, on the inside and out. 
I'm under your control, cant find a way 
out.
I'm begging for you, I want you so bad. 
Then I push you away, "stay away from 
the past".
You are the devil, you are insane. You are 
the angel that "takes away pain". 
It happened so fast, just a couple of times. 
Now you are eating away at my mind.
I am your toy, I am your puppet. You took 
control all of a sudden.
I love you, I hate you, I cant seem to 
forget. The very first time, I truly regret.
You make me feel like I'm light as a 
feather, you make me feel whole, you 
make me feel better.
I crave for your high and I thirst for your 
magic, this is pathetic and so very tragic.
Round and round and round we go, until 
you've devoured every bit of my soul.
You take from my talent and freeze up my 
brain, I cannot think when your in my 
veins.
Who knew something could cause so 
much disaster, you are pure evil, you are 
my master.
I am ashamed and I am afraid. My life is 
ruined because of the decisions I've 
made.
I've lost all control of my life, my fingers 
tremble as I sit here and type.
I anger at the thought of your existence, I 
tell myself no but I don't seem to listen.
When I swallowed you, you swallowed me 
whole, I am too deep down inside of this 
hole.
Reality has set, I'm addicted to you, no 
more denial, sad, but true.

Bianca, hi, nice to meet you. The vulnerability expressed here is mind-blowing. I wonder if it became easier for you to pour your heart out on this once you started. Was the 1st step in writing this difficult for you? You called out what/who brought you to the brink of sanity. Excellent job!

Yes, it became much easier once I begun. Yes, it was hard, but as I wrote, I was admitting what I wouldn't. Thank you very much for the compliment :)
