Medication


They've got me on some medication.
My point of balance is askew.
It keeps my blood rushing,
And it keeps me loving you.

Somebody get me out of this habit.
I'm tearing myself apart.
Eventually this drug will kill me,
If not from outside, then inside,
And all that's left will be you.

I wear myself out in the day.
I try to sleep at night.
And I do all I can to keep fighting
The thought that you're with someone else
Tonight.

I've got to have my fix.
I'm never me without it,
I'm never me with you.
It's like an ache in my chest when you're near
When I know I can't have you to myself.
It'e like a knife in my heart when you leave
And you never knew I was there.

Somebody lock me up, please!
I'm going crazy with love.
Eventually I'll give in, give up,
And I just won't care. Not about you.
Not about me, or anybody else.

I need help.
I need love.
I need hope.
I need care.
I need hugs.
I need futures.
I need...
I need...
I need you...

"Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things."

Wonderful expression Astraea!  Love has a way of turning us upside down and inside out sometimes, doesn't it? I hope things will work out for you ... {{{hugs}}} to you!  

Best wishes,

Um, don't take this the wrong way, Astrea, dear, but a lot of these lines are DIRECT quotes from the song Medication by Garbage.  There should be reference to that somewhere.

Well hey, i thought this poem rocked. Shows desperation, i don't know. I hope things are ok.
Keep that head up!
