Addicted Poem by Bartholomew Arkoh Boamah Sarbah

Daily enslaved by the thoughts of you
I am paralyzed in my heart for your sake
And though my mind struggles to get a moment relieve
My heart refuses to ever concur
The shield of my heart is broken
And has left me helpless in the influence of this web
That continuously focuses my feelings on you
How can I be myself when I can't stop thinking about you?
How do I heal myself of this trauma
even for not speaking to you in a day?
Huh! each day when I decide not to call,
Uneasiness dawns on me
And anxiety visits me
with its unseen mountains of worries
Thus the more I try to heal,
the more addicted I realized I have become
You are the drug to which I am addicted;
Moving to and fro with love that increases daily for your sake
With passion that only searches to please you
And with obsession that only you can cure.
