Poems
Mar 2015
Hooked
I'm trying to get clean of you
But it's hard quitting cold turkey
Hands sh-sh-shaking
Pupils darting uncontrollably
Legs stomping. Zombielike. I pause
Every so often. To keep myself in check
Thoughtsracingamileaminute
Somehowtheyalwaysfindawaybackto--
No.
I can't take it anymore
I open my mouth,
No longer caring if I put your name between my lips
It rolls off my ******* single exhale
I savor the forbidden sweetness of each syllable
As quick as it entered my throat,
Your name's already vanished into thin air
With it goes my peace of mind,
The withdrawal setting back in
It's never fun needing someone
Way more than they need you
