Disappoint

I'm losing focus.

Intake becomes more,

It becomes heavy.

The petals of the rose seem brighter,

The green grass more vivid.

I can be anything.

This is what he's turned me into.

Heeding his advice,

following in his footsteps.

I wonder why I love him,

I wonder why I'm attached.

But I'm not blind.

I know it's wrong,

He keeps me alive.

My eyes are open

Living, breathing, seeing.

I know it's bad,

not really society's favorite thing

But I love it.
