Love is an Addiction
Love is a drug. And perhaps it is the most terrible of all drugs, because unlike actual drugs, this one won’t kill you. …Usually, at least. It will just rip your soul out from inside of you, tie it into a knot, and beat you up with it until you wish you were dead. And because of that, we keep pursuing it. Because we’re all addicts. ... I’ve loved my children. Both the born and the unborn. Equally, though the latter with much more pain, and the former with a lot more frustration. Somewhere along the way I may have even loved myself for a moment of delirium. But then I met myself. And then, like every love before, I lost myself again. And like every love before, it refuses to die completely. For our addiction, there is no “Lovers Anonymous”.

“Would you still love me if I was a worm?” But I know she would. There are few things I’m sure about, And her love for me is one of them. The way she keeps caring for me Even if it’d be easier to just don’t, It means more to me than I can express. I’m good with words if you give me a pencil and paper, But talking? No, that’s nothing for me. And maybe that’s okay. Maybe poetry is my way to escape reality And understand the depth of my feelings For her. I’ve never felt like this before, Never once in my life. Would it be weird to say I don’t want to lose this feeling? It makes my whole world spin, Turning everything upside down, Yet, at the same time, It’s the thing that anchors me When reality becomes too much to handle.
