ADDICTION

There are nights
when I wrap myself
in memories
of what was
and once again
can feel our bodies
entwined
until we have …
no beginning
and no end.

You are
my addiction,
my drug of choice…
a close to lifelong habit
that I am unable to break.

I am a prisoner
of this compulsion
that has held me bound
within the walls
of a lonely cell.

I have no regrets,
you are a mere phantom
of all that is past,
and yet
there are nights
when I wrap myself
in memories
of what was
and once again
can feel our bodies
entwined
until we have …
no beginning
and no end.

We all remember people and do silly things usually as kids who grow up in one way but not another.

I like it, I assume the title has stopped others commenting, which is a shame.

Very compelling read. Enjoyed very much.
I wrote one with the same title.
