Love/Addiction, Love Addiction
Poem
To love the part that's lovable is easy,
The crazy guy I met online
Bouncing around like tigger
So full of potential.
***
Then there is the sickness
The darkness's, yes multiple darkness,
The deep depression that fills me with dread
The next stage is destruction of me.
***
I see the monster coming
Through the swirling damp depression
Oozling it's self into our home
Addiction rears it's mighty head.
***
Hair-trigger pings. It's landed.
Now I wait for it to come to light.
Will I discover it? The boys?
Light will surely find it.
***
Then, it will crush my stitched up,
Patched, pinned and mended heart once more.
I know it's coming. Until it's found
I mourn the consumption of my dearest friend.
***
It's only when the addiction-filled abscess
Bursts it's poison. Then,
He is released,
And rebuilding starts anew.
