Cravings

Cravings

A Poem by Askew
"

Written months and months ago about a toxic relationship that I had to end

"
Every smile you give,
Every kiss you steal
Leaves me wanting more.
I crave you
Like an addict craving their next fix.
And
Like an addict
What I crave
Will eventually kill me.

I've been reading some of your poems and as a high school student myself, I have actually experienced a lot of the things you write about. I'm glad to have found poems that better describe things that I have felt and been through better than I ever could have described it myself. Can't wait to read more!

You're wise. Toxic relationships aren't good for anyone. To walk away from something you crave so bad will pay off later on when you look back.

An intense, and honest truth about depending on one another. Absolutely stunning!

This is short, but not failingly so. You might want to spend a little more time developing themes next time, but that's definitely nitpicking on my part. Good job.

I relate to this a lot. It sounds very reminiscent of some old relationships I was in. Very powerful message, and accomplished in few words. Well done

Simple and trite but honest and true.

This is beautiful and sad and gave me all the feels. I've been there and it's not easy to get away, especially once they've made you feel like they're the best you're ever going to get, but I'm happy to hear you're no longer suffocating in the toxicity of that relationship. Great writing! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more from you.
