My Drug

These words
Drug-induced babble
Reduced terms that seduce
The senses and cause one to say
Things that should be left
Unsaid

Emotional, chemical imbalance
Stemming from the fantasy
Of tasting something
Oh so addictive

Overwhelming
Tidal waves of thought
And feelings only leave me
Hollow, empty
Till I get
Another taste

Disconnection
From all attention
Dissuasion and persuasion
Accidently utilized
Intentions good
But outcomes
Often bad

And still I drink to thee
For I've said words
I meant but yet
I should've
Waited
Said them
Slowly
One
At
A
Time

Instead I exposed you
To the turbulant rush
Of emotion
Devotion
Hopes and dreams
Perhaps I've created
A mess, unintentionally
And I apologise

Perhaps
"I love you"
Is just my personal
Justification
For wanting you
I crave you like a smoker
Craves their nicotine

You are my drug

"I crave you like a smoker Craves their nicotine" Yes, that is a deadly addiction, w/ a perfect spitting of words to splice the veins of your talent/ another perception perhaps?

Mmmm. I actually second-guess that line a lot cause it's rather negative... but at the same time, sometimes love is too.

Love is all you need. Aparently thats what most write on here dont seem to say. Life is a drug and if you dont take enough of it your missing out...

I loved your format and your style, and I agree that love is a drug with dangerous side effects.

I love this. Its so vivid. From a person who has felt both the pain and joy of love and the pain and (sort of) joy of drugs... this is great. Candid and honest and beautiful. Great write. ^aura^

I would hate you for this...not really. But yea, drugs are bad, but people are good. Or...dammit, I'm confused, I liked the message, and since it was you that wrote it, I'll give it a 10.5 out of 13 :)
