Addictive Drug

You kill me from the inside out

How do you find the words? What do you say to let them know what they mean to you? How do you describe the sensations they give you? Do you say I love you? Or is that word overused? Is love used so much the very meaning has become perverted and twisted to me like? Let me try to tell you what you mean to me.

 

You were like a bombshell dropped on my life. You were unexpected and totally changed everything. I will never be the same. You drown me with your blue eyes and soft rose lips. Your smile is a toxin racing through my veins. You destroyed everything that was my life and remodeled it to include yourself. You are the most addictive drug ravaging my mind and soul. Your very presence holds me rooted to the ground unable to walk away from you. You have ensnared me and cut me from what I once was. Your very being is an engulfing aura infecting me. You have killed the me I was to bring to the world the me I am now because of you.

 

You wanna know something? You are a poisonous flower. You are sweet to look at. You attract me to walk towards you and pluck you from the garden. I am entranced by you. Your poison flows through my veins like fire. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I was a lost soul who you gave a purpose. You gave me a reason to live. You have changed me from the void soul I was to the titan I am today. Your poison gave me strength. My soul hardened to protect you and stand as a pillar of strength. I am the thorns that protect you my flower. I am the soil you grow from. I am the stem that holds you up like a pillar. I am the sun that feeds you. I am yours. I will protect you as your thorns. I will feed your passion as your soil. I will support you as your stem. I will watch over you as your sun.

 

You changed the bad to the good and took the good and made it better. I drink your poison like honey. To me your poison is like water giving me life. It is no poison to me. It is the catalyst that broke through my walls, my barriers, my barricades, and my shell unleashing me out into the world. I strive to be great to make you proud of me. With you at my side I can not fail. I am because of you. Thank you my flower.

Lots of imagery in this, and so strong, emotion wise. I can imagine someone actually so spouting all of this, letting the one they love know why they actually do love them. I believe the phrase 'i love you' is beyond overused, and overtime, has lost it's real meaning. It is thrown around too casually to hold what it really should. Not to mention that people say it just to say it, and then turn around and do something that shows the opposite of how much you love. This is something I would say to the person I love, if I believed in it.
