My Addiction Poem by Janis Land Raymer

It's like I'm lost
as if I'm trying so hard to find my way
It's like I'm caught
in your trap and I can't find my way
It's like I hear
whispers all around
It's like I fear
all the places that darkness abounds

And, yes it's true
I could stand and fight for
the control that should be mine
but the thought of losing the war
always keeps me in line

It's like you don't care
that I cry myself to sleep at night
It's like you only hear
what you want and think is right
It's like my pain
is my burden, and mine alone
It's like never again
will your love call my heart home

And, yes it's true
I have given more
than you actually deserve
but the thought of losing you takes all my nerve.
