You.

I loved the way you feel,
The way you danced through my veins,
You sang me a lullaby,
And you made me whole,

I loved you,
You made me feel
You made me see,
You made me,
Me.

I needed to be with you,
I needed you always,
There was no doubt,
I loved you.

My friends would tell me
Your killing yourself,
You have to stop,
But I didn't care.

My Family would tell me,
We love you and we don't want to see you like this,
Please stop this now!
I still didn't care.

I think it was when,
I found myself,
With you,
On the bathroom floor,
That I realized,
I hated you,
I only needed you to make me feel,
Happy,
Or whole.

You were something I could live without,
I saw myself in the mirror that night,
and I hated what I saw.

I threw you away,
and went to a special place,
with people just like me,
I cried a lot,
But I did it.

You made me whole,
But I like myself now,
without you,
You were never me.
I was never me with you.

You were my everything,
for so long,
now,
Your gone,
and I love it.

I can breath without you,
I can sleep without you,
I can live without you,
I can see without you,
I can be without you,
I am me, without you.

I found something else,

To dance through my veins,

I found someone else,

To sing me a lullaby.

It's

 

Him.

Author notes

This poem is kinda true. You was the addiction and Him is someone really special. Just so you know.

    This leaves a very powerful and emotional impact! It's exactly how I felt and now feel about heroin and myself.

    Peace Georgia

    I loved this poem. It's as if I can get a look inside what these things do to people. Although I'm sure it is nothing to actually feeling it, though I never hope to. Great poem.

    This is great. I felt so much emotion as I read it. I hope the kinda true parts are the good parts. 'Him' sounds great and I hope that your life is better these days! Best wishes and thanks for sharing such a powerful piece.

    This is sooo real. Like wow, just the emotional impact of this poem is awesome, like every line reminds me of a moment or a thought or a person or just some small little thing from my life. Every part of this poem is like something i've been through. Just complete obsession, I know that it kills. But you cant get away because you...well you aren't really loving too much I dont even know. You're just in this blur of need. & Then the whole people telling you how its hurting you so much, how you should give it up but you just can't see it because all you see is him.
    And then like, just breaking away. It totally messes you up but saves you.
    So happy you could escape, the end of this poem is like breathing in an outer space of mangoes <3. Refreshing,
    "I found something else to dance through my veins"
    Love that! It was Him =] I actually didnt see it coming. Perfect, dramatic, raw...personal, heartfelt, such a killer poemmm ♥. Hope the Him is sweet.
