I'm addicted.
Not to meth, or ecstacy,
I don't smoke or drink,
I barely even play games.
I haven't many hobbies,
chess on weekdays,
golf on weekends.
My addiction is much more severe,
One that I am proud of,
I want the world to hear.
It keeps me up at night,
Floods my brain with thoughts,
Keeps me up till dawn,
But a substance it is not.
This addiction drives me to madness,
My writing is my release,
Because the addiction that I bear,
Binds me like a dog on a leash.
I'm addicted to a feeling,
One that tastes so sweet,
Brings me so much warmth,
A treasure and a treat.
I'm addicted to the song,
It greets me every morning,
The song that checks up on me,
While I'm still in bed, still yawning.
I'm addicted to the touch,
The one that holds my hand,
When the world feels as though it might collapse,
It is the foundation on which I stand.
I live for my addiction,
I need it to survive,
Without it I am empty,
This addiction keeps me alive.
I am addicted to the hunger,
When I part from it I am famished,
I simply cannot get enough,
The distance brings me anguish.
This addiction is my entirety,
Fills me up, and sucks me dry.
This addiction is my source,
My fountain of eternal life.
This addiction needs no recovery,
For it is not a curse,
When I say addiction,
I'm simply referring to the girl that makes me hold her purse.
If it isn't clear enough now,
I'm talking about the love of my life,
The girl who will always stay by me,
No matter the struggle or strife.
I am aware of my youth,
I agree, I'm young and dumb,
But as long as I am stupid for her,
Then I'm completely under her thumb.
I'm bound to make mistakes,
But I am sure of my addiction,
So I will devote myself unto it,
For it is more than a conviction.
I love my addiction,
And I know she loves me too,
And as beebadoobee once said,
"I'm stuck by the glue"
She breaks me, builds me, and binds me to her will,
She is my drink, she is my drug, she is my only pill.
I am addicted.
