Undecided I am
As to whether or not obsessing over you is wrong
I may never know
If it must be wrong, then I only wrong myself
For I am addicted to you,
and it is not long before i feel the withdrawal
Of your poisonous beauty
Far more potent than any substance
Far more desirable than any liquor

Thirsty for you I am
As to whether or not the thirst is quenchable
I may never know
If it must go unquenched, I will surly die of thirst
For I have had a dose of you,
and so your poison will remain in my heart
Until it gives way
After my hit of you I desire no other
After my fix of you I need another

I can not be rehabilitated
Or cured thanks to you
So i must adjust,
and aspirations must be met
I'll start off small,
and see if you've noticed me yet

Conclusion or delusion
I wonder in my state of euphoria
I think obsessing over you is right for me
Having learnt to embrace this love sickness you have brought unto me
This feeling is human,
so I must be too
Well a man has needs,
and what I need is you
This is an old poem I wrote at around age 16 during my final year of secondary school. Take what you will from this, I think I was way in over my head. At that age though you don't really understand that when you feel a certain way (about a girl or boy) and start to put stupid things in your body you are in for a whole world of confusion and conflicting emotions. I originally titled this piece 'Addicted to you' and wanted something more original so I wrote 'Are you back on it again?' as a reference to the typically crass, English question: Are you getting on it? (When a mate asks if you are involved with a girl or boy.)
Listen to my silent cries.....
Look at my poor swollen eyes...
shedding floods of tears...

My soul is torn in shreds...
Ruin and wretched....
Being so depressed...
how can I tell you
that your one harsh word
often send me in
the depths of despair.....

your crudeness....
your harshness...
shatters me
Your lie tatters me

Ah! In your love,
what i lose and what i gain.....

Sobbing inconsolably,
I'm moaning in unbearable pain......

I've to endure this strain
So don't numb my pain...
Oh you! please don't numb it...

My pain is the only thing
that  tells me ....
I'm ALIVE .....

Yep, it tells me...
I'm not dead yet.

I must let it go
I must move on and
strive....

because I'm ALIVE
Yeah, I'M STILL ALIVE...!
Life is a combination of joys and sorrows. When you are broken and badly hurt by your loved ones don't despair....
For the sake of your true love,  you must let it go.
Sometimes your pain is a blessing because it makes you stronger. So keep your spirit and hope alive. Face the difficulties of life and withstand with courage.
In every century
You will hear of a comet lost in time;
Haley's was here an eye blink ago,
And the rivers replenish the oceans
One and again.
There will be a small light in the sky
That you will not see tomorrow
Because it is now dead,
And it died millions of years
Before the luminous rays hit
The first womb of Eve.
     There will be children grown
Into formidable singulars,
     And each one is barely here
When the sun yawns, another passes away.
    And when the sky is full
You will count the stars
With your child, just to teach them how
To count.
        The eclipse will haunt one because it is
Like a darkness that comes to visit
       In between one decade and another,
You will question yourself to see
    Where you were before.
And there are premature moons,
     Babies of the cosmos,
And you will name one after your daughters
That brought you to look
Again at the hopeful skies.
    And when you are done here,
As you leave for eternity
To the Blue Sun,
You will look back
And see the tiny miniscule miracle
That was a star being born.
