PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Addictions start with people
trying to escape their realities.

My life isn't everything
that I'd hoped it would be.

It gets terribly lonely
since I have few to call friends.

So I obsess over people,
letting them consume my mind.

I have been deprived of love
for most of my short life.

Now that I've possessed it,
I crave it like a thirsty soul.

I have a codependent streak
and you're next on my list.

I worry I'll drive you away
and be left alone again.

But this time it's different,
you're unlike all the rest.

This could be something special
that could last forever.
