Addiction

A Poem by Mads

What is the most dangerous drug? Love.

I've found that your love tastes better than alcohol. Your kiss is the sweetest thing that has ever touched my lips. An embrace from you is more comforting than a bottle in my hand. Your words are more effective in taking away the pain than any drug in existence. No matter what happens I always come back to you. No matter how many times I try to stop letting myself be fanatic and obsessed...

It doesn't matter. I cannot be weaned off of you, I cannot be taken away. Give a man heroine, and he's addicted from the moment it's in his system. The buzz and high will make him feel like he's transcendent, boundless, and infinite. Give me you and it's the exact same thing. You give me the most indomitable high I have ever felt, but you also bring the lowest crash in all of existence. I become destroyed with every hit, swig, and drag I take of you. Yet, it only makes me crave you even more. I can't get enough. You are my drug.

I am indisputably and recklessly addicted to you
