I have to quit cold turkey
because yesterday
you were every single smile.
I was on a euphoric high
from the moment I awoke
until I closed my eyes.
I got addicted to you
and it all happened suddenly
as I got drunk on your attention.
I am fully expecting to
have withdrawal symptoms
as I navigate the absence of you.
But at the end of the day,
this obsession was
going to kill the both of us.
