My Latest Drug

You're screaming as I kiss you
And you struggle when we hug.
So I hold on to you tighter
As I love

My Latest Drug.

You're smiling as I fight you
And you're holding to my hand
I wish that I could make you see

But you don't understand.

So kiss me one more time
-And giggle in the dark.
-Our fights and misconceptions
Just add on to

The spark.

But you're more than just a thriller
(Cause I know I'll never win.)
In every way that's possible
You get
Under
My

Skin.

"My Latest Drug" I called you.
- All I need to just survive.
But maybe you should stay...

(Been years since I felt this

Alive.)

Author notes

I was remembering the line
"You are exactly my brand of Heroin."
Edward said it to Bella.

And... I don't know.
It just suits Maddy and I.

In a list

    amazing

    i like how you compaired the addictiveness of a drug to love for another human being it was a very beautiful work that you displayed. ive never felt love like that but its amazing that you have. the only thing i would realy change about this poem is the name the whole drug thing is somewhat imfasized in the poem so i would change the name to better emphasize it.

    Love it.

    This piece actually epitomizes my relationship--myself--my life--me...? That isn't what pulled me in, though. No, your syntax and diction combined to form an asymmetrical type of swinging rhythm in my mind, [though maybe it was just that your words harmonize so gently with those inside my mind] and created something very real from simple words on a computer screen burning itself into my retinas.

    Love it.

    I know I have already commented on this poem, but I've Just read it again, and I have to make another comment.....I love it! I can really relate to it, that person that really gets "under your skin" and has a hold on you. You really lay out how it feels, especially when there is someone that I feel this about, I really feel this poem. Have some applause....

    it made me think of Twilight (and i read your authors notes after the fact so thats really cool on how it made me think of that automatically)

    this was a really great write
    i really liked the rythm and flow it had
    the way you would start a statement then skip a line to continue the thought. like the lines
    "Just add on to

    The spark."

    this is an amazing write and i could really relate
    thanks for sharing ♥

    I love those books. I wouldn't want to be anyone's drug and I wouldn't want anyone to be my drug. I don't know, but it was a very good and descriptive poem full of a kind of crazy slipping over the edge feeling. I don't like that feeling, it makes me feel out of control in a strange way. Chaos. I like chaos when i'm the one who caused it but not when it's forced on me.

    I like the word choice and usage.
    The flow is good. Different than most and pretty unique, but that just adds to the overall read. Definately made it a lot more enjoyable.
    It actually left me with something to walk away with. I like giving something back to the reader like that. Very enjoyable.

    Love is a drug. I love how you showed how it can be a drug for you. This is a very good piece. I liked the style it was written in, and I like the way the piece can be relatable to anyone. Been there... I know how it feels to be totally in love with someone, and be addicted to them, but they don't show the same feelings for you. I thought that this was a very honest write. Keep up the good job.

    This is such a beautiful piece.
    It is as if you give the reader a glimpse into your heart.

    "You're screaming as I kiss you
    And you struggle when we hug.
    So I hold on to you tighter
    As I love

    My Latest Drug."

    I know whats it feels like to have a soul who feeds off drugs,
    and there is no feeling as beautiful as finding someone,
    who gets you high off their love.

    Blessed be.

    Love is a very strong drug and these words showed it. Looking at the author notes I think it's better you didn't use that line in it. This had some vivid images in it and it was a great read. I do have one suggestion for it. In that last line you could add the word "way" after this and put a comma after it. Then it will lead into that word "Alive". Excellent and thank you for sharing with me. Keep writing poet. seamaiden ♥

    Pretty good

    I think it's better to not pin your descriptions too specifically, personally. I would leave it as is, as far as comparisons. I personally also wouldn't use as much punctuation like periods and hyphens. I prefer not to because i find it distracting and i also think your usage of parenthesis takes away from the possibility of interpretation. I like to leave as much room for interpretation as possible so people can come up with their own meaning.

    This might not be what you're going for though. Otherwise, i think the poem is pretty cool, but just make sure you don't get sucked into the drama. I have a friend who has made a relationship out of how much her and her bestfriend fight, so all they really ever do in each other's presence is bicker. What's the point of conditioning yourself to expect negative emotions? As a recovering cutter myself, I have found that it's helpful to reduce negativity in my life while learning to cope with it better so when i do encounter it, i can resist cutting more. Does this sound too preachy? Does it even make sense? If not, feel free to disregard it. Good luck with everything, truly. I know it's hard.
