junkie

writer in the dark

last night i couldn't help it

the craving was too strong

ashamed to admit that

i've been addicted all along;

your presence is poisonous 

this chase is toxic 

bad for my health yet

your touch is my antibiotic;

i see the rapscallion in your eyes

thinking it's an innocent crime

saying that you love me 

knowing it shatters my heart every time;

yearning for a dopamine hit

that's when you give me nothing

just for once please

pretend i meant something;

i've gotten used to being on my own

like a roadrunner on track

but last night i caved

and took a look back
