Kicking Til Your Gone (12/22/10) Poem by Melissa Mary

I can't control how much I want you
No matter how bad you are for me
I breathe you in and hold you tight
Your aroma is so poisoning.

Slowly you're killing me, yet still I cling
And although I've never been accepting of abuse
You blacken my body and knock out my teeth
And still I have stayed with you.

No more will we share intoxicating moments
No longer will I tremble in your name
I am going to get through life without you
Because the hardest are the first days.

Conquering my fears now
It's easier to breathe
I may want you, but you won't hurt me again
I'm finally doing this for me.

(Kicking the habit)
