Addiction Poem by kendyll brown

its like a terrible addiction
i couldnt get enough
a tidal wave of attention
just swept me away
why did i like it so much
when it hurt me so bad?
i dont know
i will never know
my mismatched feelings
love, loss, regret
i became my own nightmare
one i couldnt get past
one i couldnt forget
you were the monster on my back
the drug that wouldnt go away
but as i tried, i failed
it was too hard
i liked the feeling too much
i wanted, to be wanted
but after it all
i realized what i got
heart break.....
