Addiction

I think it's unfair

How you treat me however you like

You arrogance astounds me

Your compassion is lost

My loyalty is a token of my tainted addiction

I look at you and lust

But I cannot submit

I will not hide

Your power will not defeat me

You created my curiosity

That fueled my obsession

I was hooked

But I'll no longer lower myself to you

Your dignified manner -

Your esteemed ego -

Will no longer fool me

This separation is necessary

This isolation is permanent

I cannot continue

So I won't
