No Fair

Every love that I have fallen in to broke my heart

A few to many times 

I try to repair it but it's never completely fixed

Every guy that I have ever fallen for is a junkie 

I have never been good enough to raise my expectations

So I became a junkie to 

But then I met you 

You...

You exceed my expectations

You are everything I have ever wanted

You are on my mind constantly 

Your smile is like the fresh morning sun

Your laugh is the sound of that of an angel 

Your skin is so smooth but rough 

Your eyes are the color of the coffee I drink every morning and am so addicted to 

You are the one that belongs to the hand I wanted to forever hold

You are the one I want to hold me 

You are the one that belongs to lips I am craving to kiss 

You make me laugh and smile so much that my stomach is sore 

You make me blush till my cheeks are the color crimson

You..

It's not fair that I will never be with you 

But those are the odds

You're too good for me 

And she deserves you

It's not fair that I was so close to freedom from this broken heart 

But I'll survive like I always do

More so this time though because I have you as a friend

You..

My friend

Nothing more.

There's a lot of emotion in this poem. I respect the honesty in your admission to becoming addicted. Your poem shows that you're not beyond redemption and rebirth, building new happiness from a new, healthy friendship. Thank you for sharing.
