Addicted To Love

Early morning tiredness

Fragile and forlorn

Obsequies to your every whim

But still left all alone.

*

Missing the attentiveness

You show when you’re at home

Used to the loneliness

When you’re so often gone.

*

You don’t seem to realise

How your moods affect my moods

Your presences or absences

Determine if life’s good.

*

I realise I’m addicted

To the love that you display

And my heart breaks in two

The minute you go away.

When I was younger

I thought love so wonderful

But in reality, it’s suffocating

When it is this powerful.

*

I can’t live without your love

But it often causes me pain

This all-consuming passion

That leaves me barely sane.

*

But I am a love addict

When it comes to you my dear

My self subsumed and surrendered

Whenever you are near.

*

I am quietly aware of this

But I’m powerless to resist

For without your love, my love

I no longer could exist.
