Getting my fix of her feb 21, 2014

 

I really can't help it

 I keep falling back into it

an addict addicted to what

I think of as love

 especially when I no longer know

 what happened with her

so I drift off in a cloud

that shapes reality into what I imagine

 and take over each illusion

 as if real

 how do you lust after something

that isn't there

 clinging to the shreds of it

as it turns into something else

with each brief gust of wind.

I thought I had recovered from this

 no longer needing the fix

to cure the fit I feel

 absence doesn't make

the heart grow fonder

just more desperate

 thinking perhaps rightly

this will never come again

vanishing before my eyes

leaving the sky full of fantasies

 I've shaped into her

 some more pornographic than others

yet all with the same intense sense of pain

 longing after something that can't possibly exist

yet I can't help it sticking her in my arm

like a needle

letting her course through my veins

feeling wonderful despite myself
