The Duplicity of My Addiction

Contributed by allforyou on Wednesday, 4th August 2010 @ 10:58:49 AM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



You told me I'd always be loved,
you told me I belonged.
That next time would be better,
if I could just hold on.

You spoke to me in dreams,
made sure I would remember,
that without you I am nothing,
that some things are forever.

Now we might not be handcuffed,
but you've got me on a leash.
It makes no difference if I run,
I'm still not free, there's no release.

Suddenly my visions doubled;
You're just like what they said!
Will you and I grow old together,
will you still live once I am dead?

I see you in the mirror,
I know what I must do.
The thing about addiction is,
without me you are nothing too.

This is excellent! Well worded and the pain was felt as I read along. Keep it up- 70 days and counting. One day at a time. . .

Love your piece, I can relate addiction is such a *****, a devil on our shoulder for the rest of our lives. But on drugs we have no soul anymore or creativity, when I was active i didn't write a thing for months and months you hold a pen to a paper and have nothing good to say.

Sad to hear about your drug problem but great news that you're now clean. I have never touched drugs or drink but know what it does to you. Good write and KEEP CLEAN!
All the best, Chris.

Don't mind the subject (then again nobody cares about a comment's subject).

I like this poem. I don't know exactly how the feeling is, but I like the words "without you I am nothing". I kind of have that feeling with someone that I'm with right now. Oh, and you commented on my poems a long time ago, but I never remembered your account name until I looked at my poems. So, I'm just returning back a comment and I must say, your poems have interesting titles. I shall read them when I have the time.

well done
hope all is well with that struggle
I can never break loose
only have moments of freedom
thanx for sharing....
