Addiction

Like a drug,
I crave you..
the need to be near you,
I want to swallow you whole,
trap you within me,
keep you for myself….
countless hours spent wondering..
longing..
pining…

Like an addict I need a fix…
a hit of the love you have embedded in me
I feel you pulsing through my veins..
yet you are not here,
I feel your body against mine..
yet it has never been,
I feel your words in my heart..
this is all I have

I find the strength to rise
another day without you here..
it gets harder,
I shrug and remember..
the big picture..
the end result..
I smile,
I miss you but I know you’re mine
I know you’re worth it
although the wait is tiring..

I go through the motions
counting the minutes..
they turn into hours,
just to be with you…
albeit briefly,
I savor every moment
treat it like our first..
missing you constantly,
before you leave..
feeling empty when you do..
the circle continues.


I lay awake thinking of you
of us together at last..
of our future and its contents,
the first touch of your lips..
looking into your eyes,
holding your hand..
being inside you…..

I grow restless and close my eyes,
there you are,
haunting me..
in the sweetest possible way
I smile and I slip away..
I’m with you there,
where I should be..
like an addict,
my craving satisfied.
