You Poem by Whimsical Wanderer

You give me a reason
A reason to go on
A reason to wake up
When all I want is eternal slumber
You give me hope
When I can't go any lower
You lifted me up
When I was spiraling down
Such is your hold over me
That you chased away my fiercest demons 
You are the queen of the wastelands that are my dreams
My waking thoughts are not exempt from your dominion
Just one look is enough; I'm intoxicated
Reduced to childish fantasies
Everything else ceases to matter 
My thoughts turn to incoherent noise 
Your debilitating presence left me broken
A cripple who is whole
The rush I get when I look at you is potent
It's like the strongest of addictions
I need more every time
You're the cause and the antidote
But this a futile endeavor, a hopeless suit
Even if the stars align
Even if you fall for this unworthy shell
We'd still remain apart 
For being with you
Would mean crossing a line 
Stepping over that boundary would be so easy
But it would turn me into someone despicable
It would send me to a place so dark
That even your captivating, resonating light
Wouldn't be able to save me
