Mindless Addiction Poem by Simply Ruby

Mindless Addiction

Rating: 5.0


He is nothing, yet he is also everything.
A light that flickers in my unbearable darkness, illuminating the pitch-black corners of my heart if only for one second.
A dangerous addiction, one my normal self would've never allowed to be born.
I've become a junkie desperate for her next fix.
He is the forbidden fruit that i am not allowed to taste, but have long since devoured.`
He is smiles and laughter rolled up in a bubbly feeling my rotten heart had long forgotten.
It is wrong, and idiotic and so unbelievably naive, but he is the sun my frozen hands cling to. Desperate for the warmth it radiates.
He warms up the entirety of my being, ripping smiles from my lips
He is nothing. A stranger. An echo in my never ending void.
He is everything. A dream. He is hope.
I am an idiot, holding on for dear life to a non-existing emotion.
Craving the forbidden taste of the poison that are his words, because they make me feel oh so indescribably good.
I drink them all knowing full well they will leave me in agony as they exit my body.
I am a junkie that knows i should stop, but i can't physically stop it because he is my feel good drug.

maybe its naive and very unwise but i think we are all looking for a feel-good drug in one form or another. In a sense we are all addicts. Anyhow, i love the rawness of this poem, and the vivid imagery. Kind of makes one say wow, does this guy have a brother i can meet? lol
