Personal Drug

by Kyleene Mitchell   Jun 1, 2018


I am addicted
To the rush I feel when around you
When we first got together
It was the most amazing high
Complete bliss
Fueled by your attentions and love
A tingling shock that caressed my very blood cells
But as time has passed,
That personal high is harder obtain
Less loving words leave your lips
My presence has begun to become unimportant
And now I am left feigning for the clouds that I once touched with my fingertips
But I am not a fool
I know that I may never feel that again
So I need to cleanse myself of you
Being that powerful drug that you are,
It isn’t easy to just let go
Some days I feel okay without my dance with you
That I can survive without this toxic love
But other days,
My body shakes
And my mind goes through withdrawals from not having you near
I begin to miss the rush
I’m addicted to everything you are
Is it possible to distance myself from you?
From this is frighteningly amazing drug?
