Addicted

I feel like a princess
When you look at another female
I feel secure and content in this
Knowingly it’s bound to fail
~
Still we are in a good place
Despite your glazed pinned eyes
Sweet tender warm embrace
comes from your compulsive lies
~
Empty threats keep me protected
considering your number of labels
luckily enough I’ve faithfully perfected
your feeble attempt on turning tables
~
I blatantly blind the lack of respect
the mistreatment by your addiction
convinced myself it was only the effect
of your beloved needed prescription
~
Swallowing your ten pills
Everyday, religiously
Alongside of your 70mls
Order to keep another habit away
~
On the roof of our flat
close as I could get to the moon
In the pouring rain alone I sat
Humming a mellow melody tune
~
No point in returning home
You awaken from being off your face
Unawares you were there alone
Or that I’d even left the flat in first place
~
Still you’re anxious and paranoid
Only your own guilt to blame
Hence every question I ask you avoid
With zero remorse and zero shame
~
See yourself more of a master than a devil
To me literally dust
There’s no limit no level
Most importantly there’s no love only lust
~
I sat in your sadistic honey trap
Awaiting my release
They say curiosity kills the cat
Yet I’m still praying for my peace

Author's Note
This is an old personal material I’d written when I was thirteen and innocent falling for someone who was a drug addict way before I became one myself.
