"
i realized:
i was not addicted to you,
i was intoxicated by the thought
of who you should have been
and in that moment
it came to me
your charm was potent
as though it was whiskey
you could ruin lives
just as alcohol ruined mine
you were way too nice
and you became the reason why
i drank all the pain away
trying to make sense of it all
my heart burst into flames
knowing that i took a hard fall
