Addictive Love Poem by Michael Adeosun

Addictive Love



I was in love with Mary Jane.
They said she'll make me insane
But for her I always did lust
She's as white as snow
She's as fine as dust
Like an angel she did glow
Our romance was illicit
So I kept it secret
When we did our thing
she changed my being
She altered my mindset
I had the speed of a jet
I thought I was flying
They said I was nose-diving
Mother said I wasn't living right
With Mary Jane, finance was tight
People said I wasn't living straight
For them I felt hate
Every time I shudder
I was always looking over my shoulder
Mary Jane I had to have all the time
For Mary Jane I spent every dime
She made me happy, I felt like a butterfly inside
She made me sad, I felt like committing suicide
I couldn't sleep
Oh! The pain was deep.....

Now, there is someone trailing
Tried to catch me, I swoop
I slam him
I rained punches on his face
His face is bloody
He disappeared...
My fists are bloody
Gush! I've been punching the concrete.

It was a party
Music was hype
All were dancing
I joined the dance...
There were no dancers
There was no music
Gush! I've being dancing alone

It's a rally
There is an audience
I'm on the platform
Speech is grand...
There is no rally
There is no audience
God! I have been talking to myself

...Oh! Mary Jane
She's making me insane
She's crack
She'll make me crack
White like an angel
She's death-bell
Easy to fall in love with
Difficult to jilt.
