For the first time I thought twice
I shook my head and looked away
My own stupidity
Never ceases to amaze me
How many hours have I wasted
Just to get a taste . . .
Just to get a taste of you
You cry poison and bleed the antidote
But your words are hollow
Meaningless to society
Still you manage to fool me
With everything you say
A turn for the worse I'll never understand
Why you stick around . . .
Why I'm still around
I contradict myself
With every step I take
Every word I speak
No less than an addiction
To the promise you won't keep
No connection's made
But your every word is saved
In the depths of my darkest nightmare

Gosh, Emily, this is quite dark, but I do know what you are writing about. Very impressive poem and it touches me in a certain disquieting way...

Love,
Margherita
