I can no longer feel the pain
My head is strangely quiet without the dull roar
These pills start to kick in but I still need more
As long as my thoughts keep drifting
They come back to you
unspoken arguments and hidden pain
So many things I wish you knew
I still have withdrawal from your gaze
I miss your touch, your smell, your taste
I supplement you with drugs and fucking
Just one more addiction with which I'm faced
How can I even be alive?
All the shit in my system ought to have killed me by now
This cocktail of weed, whiskey, and vicodin
It's all got me drifting, asking why and how?
Just one more addiction
Needing one more hit
You are my heroin
The stuff I need to quit
It's on my list of things to do
I know I never will
I can't have you but I'm no quitter
I guess I'll take another pill...

Thank you for entering
Good Luck in the contest

WOW
This is really good. The addiction form of what you have here is amazing. Your words are strong and almost bitter. You've done a fantastic job on this poem. Excellent work. Thanks so much for entering the contest and the best of luck to you. kassie -

Thanks a lot. I really was trying to get a lot out. Poetry is more of therapy than art for me. I have very few examples of my purely artistic (in the "entertainment" sense) poetry. Thank you for the inspiration in said contest.

I'm disqualifying this. It has a definable rhyme scheme, and I asked for free-verse in the rules. Please reread the rules and enter something more appropriate.
