admitting addiction/poets anonymous

panic filled my heart
i had gone down this road before
and i knew where it would end

my soul would be drained
but my mind could not stand the pain
of being without it
i tasted it
every time my tongue touched my lips
it haunted me
from sun up
to sun up

i said that i was done
that we were through
but it
called me
by my real name
it knew my deepest emotion
it played with my thought
it controlled my hearts desire

i am
an addict

addicted to places that only this pen can take me
addicted to heart break, sex and love
placed on paper
and read on warm mikes

i am addicted
i
am
an
addict
