You are like smoking
Addictive and bad for me
You are choking
But relaxing me
You are making
And then breaking me
You are awakening
But subduing me
You are satisfying
And then teasing me
You are helping
But hurting me
You are like smoking
Addictive and bad for me

You know I wouldn't have thought about relating a relationship to this, and you just nailed this!  Great poem.

Carpe' Diem,

Thank you. Sometimes it's hard to let go of a friend that you love so, but to realize that keeping them is hurting you makes one feel wise.

Great write.  I stopped smoking 4 weeks ago and I have given a lot of thought to the addiction and craving for that which is harmful.  Yep, it's tough to end some harmful relationships, Others, not even a tough call if they don't feed your particular addiction.  Thanks for penning this, naturally it caught my attention.

Hi  - Am new to these forums.
Humane addictions - poetry is one - offer insight yet food faux spiritual leap from some. But here I read a concise reckoning. Caught in the net of an addictive personality, it relaxes me that others have similar tales to tell.

Nice -

Thank you all for your compliments. Although this poem came from a place of pain, I am glad it was enjoyed. Expression always makes my stress relax itself.

Hey Rachael girl,

This is a good one.  I feel the pain in it, but you expressed it well.
