it hurts a little to be apart
but it's for the very best
we drove each other
to the arms of
someone else

we became what we never wanted to be

S T R A N G E R S

not even friends
just bitter ex lovers

we destroyed ourselves!
all for the sake of love
we gave a lot of
our fragile
minds
hearts
souls

love became a drug
it was a sick habit
and now we're at war
i am now a recovered addict
but the side effects
really ****** me up
they will affect me
for the rest of my life

now when i see your face
i feel a sense of disgust
it's like holding
a ***** needle
nothing but
endless problems
constant complications

R E C O V E R I N G

from the scars left
on my heart

from the thoughts
of love suicide

from the emotions
i always felt
before and after
our love died

luckily, i survived
the wrath of love
and addiction
which was so unkind
so unpleasant
so disgustingly
permanent
