Left for Love
Hazy memories of sweetness
Interwound with curiosity
Drew me to you
But you left me crying from taunts
And with crimson wounds from torment
Injuries so deep
Scars inside and out
Calling that love is not right
Compulsive thoughts
Left no room for anything else
Gentle pleasures
Twisted
Until sweet turned sour
The romantic lines you would recite
Left me breathless
Filling my ears
Your words intoxicated me
And hit me like a shot of vodka
Cravings like claws ripping at my skin
Begging for me to give in
You say you left for love
As you begged me to stay away
But I can’t, despite distance being right
I pleaded “don’t leave the pain will cripple me,”
But you did what was right for you and left
You are my addiction
My heart
Without you I can’t move
So I’ll consume my last breath
Because I have nothing left

Author's Note
I was inspired by human anatomy to write this poem. The lung on the right side having 3 lobes, the left side only having 2 lobes to house your heart. This is to illustrate how deep the addiction was. How essential it felt for my existence.
Deriving inspiration from the 2 and 3 lobes I modelled the verses.
I used the words left and right to emphasize the pulling in different directions. The internal conflict between the addition and the pain being caused as a consequence.
