Adderal love affair

The amphetamines are at

an all time high.

The excuses stay the same.

I worry that it's too much,

she assures me that its not enough.

I see the world around her spinning

slowly out of control.

She is immune to it.

If I voice an opinion,

the excuses shoot me down.

If I stay silent,

my morals and experience

make me feel unsettled.

I tell her that they make her

cold and distant.

She refuses to see it.

I look into her face and

it is blank.

Too lost in a thought.

Focused on that single issue,

to not see it.

I have to keep going with her,

abandonment is not an option.

I used to be the indulgent one,

now I see it all with different eyes.

I know what’s next.

But she won't let me in.
