Stringed Addictions

Always a string threaded 
through my memory 
can't go a day without 
thoughts of you tugging me.
My fringes have to be bad
picking and pulling 
healing prolonged 
Can't seem to undress you
It's obvious I don't want to
I enjoy wearing thoughts of you
Clothed in your naked truth
Wearing you like an alcoholic 
does eighty proof whiskey 
I have a problem, I'll admit 
when it comes to you
sobriety happens daily 
addicted to thoughts of you,
from your heightened truth
down to your hair follicles.
One hundred proof
I'll be in therapy  soon.
