You are a drug
you drag me into your web
I need you to be right
I crave you
Addiction is you for me
You are no good
you bring pain
suffering
and the withdrawal can be severe

I survived the withdrawal before
several times
Its the relapse
It kills me
tears me down to nothing
makes me lie and cheat
makes me hurt those who are real
those I truly love

So stop it

I dont want to need you
I dont want to crave you anymore

So stop it

Great topic. That's the kind of topic that can clear a room. Are you an addict of drugs or people?
the only part of the poem that I thought sounded awkward was the "addiction is you for me" line. It just threw me off the flow.
The poem feels like a snippet of a much longer conversation with larger perspectives, surrounding environments, and a history of shame and abuse. I always opt for elaboration. That's just my opinion.
Overall:touching and emotional work.

I think you described your feelings very well. I could tell that you were talking about a person......  
I hope things get better for you...

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Heather, this reminded me so much of the matchbox twenty song "Disease", sweet friend, I too have been heartbroken one week ago from today and  can't help but miss who she used to be before she changed! (sad sigh) My thoughts and prayers are with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Heather, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
