My Addiction Poem by Patti Wilburn Haney

Addiction is such a cruel thing
It takes over your whole life
Whatever your poison
It cuts to the core like a knife
Agony and ecstasy
Conjoined twins
Sometimes difficult to tell
Where pain stops and pleasure begins
You see my cross
Is the most difficult to bear
My addiction is your love
It's excruciating when you're not here
I count the seconds
Till I can get my fix
Wouldn't be so bad
If time weren't in the mix
You see even when we are apart
You're always on my mind...always in my heart
So until I am in your arms again
Know I am hopelessly addicted to you my friend
