Love was the only drug I could provide
that wasn't good enough to keep you on that high
I gave you everything.
I filled you up with dopamine
That doesn't mean a thing
Love was the only drug I could provide.
Wasn't it bliss
When we were together
I gave you everything.
Tell me that you quit
Tell me you need a fix of my love
Love was the only drug I could provide.
Tell me I am it
Tell me that I am good enough
I gave you everything.
I filled you up with dopamine
That did't mean a thing
Love, I just can't compete
I gave you everything.

You’ve woven an impressive piece with this! I really like the reverse repetition element!
Jordan, this poem is so powerful. From one warrior to another, keep bringing the fight to your notebook - it adds to your brilliance!
this one gutted me. Incredible work.
Hats off to your work! Keep it going—congrats!
I am sure that this resonates with many. I wonder how we as a species got to be this way. What's wrong with people??? It's absolutely nuts! Post-mini-rant comment: Congratulations on the top story!
My mood as of the end of another year... Top Story, indeed... 🏅
Back to say congrats on Top Story!
This is very relatable and speaks volumes to giving and not receiving as Manisha said. Well done, Jordan.
Ah that feeling of just giving but waiting to receive. Good writing!
