Every time I see you
I get so high, to be alone, I can’t abide
The drug flows through my system
I know I’m stoned inside
Like an addict, I crave you
My only fun, I need,
to have you in my blood flow
No warnings do I heed.
The problem is addiction,
No one can say I wasn’t warned,
my love for you has blossomed,
our connection strongly formed
A rush floods my body
My heart takes flight, I fly,
for minutes, hours days, I’m safe.
But when I come down, I die,
a little more inside each day
I know this addiction cannot last
For everyday I remember a little
About my haunted past
Oh god, oh yes, I love him.
Believe me, our passion is true
For without him I would be nothing,
Yes, nothing without you.
One drug I do not wish to be weaned of,
No longer do I care
For when I’m with you, I am content
Stoned, as high as air

I can totally relate. I just had to 'detox' from someone very special to me.
This one makes me want to read more.

There is a passion in your lines here as you give way to your addictions. Now if we all could have this same kind of addiction....smile...Nicely crafted and a great take on the prompt. Good luck in the contest.
