Like a drug

by Sorefromreality   Mar 21, 2006


Like a drug
that i cannot reject
ur the poison
i cant neglect

a drug so sweet
ur lips make me high
but when I'm done inhaling
i ask myself why

why cant i quit
and stop this never ending cycle
i cant seem to get a grip
it's like a toxic circle

ur a drug that doesn't effect my health
but slowly kills my heart
now i wished id never used
never even start

u poison friendships
and tear souls apart w/ ease
u leave people battered
and sobbing on their knees

pleading for a cure
to this cruel addiction
praying for u
to get ur well deserved conviction

u are like a drug
no one can stay away
and i can't stop taking
try as i may

    I love this poem. Once again I ignored your internet slang (yes I am going to mentoin that /every/ time) and focused on the meaning, flow, ect. I'm taking you up on your offer of continued comment trading.

    These two lines

    now i wished id never used
    never even start

    The first one kinda puts a bump in the flow, and I have a suggestoin for re-wording. You could change it to 'never had a start' then the reader isn't stoping and thinking, started, then fixing it back in their mind again. It's still fine if you don't change it

    I love the simplisity you feel while you read it, yet you know it really goes deeper. It keeps the reader reading on to figure out what you mean, what you'll tell them next. Very nicely done.

    Almost every thing has a purfect rhym, great flow, and that almighty demanding multi laid false simplisity. And of coarse, it's subject is widley relatable, grabs a bit of smyithy from the reader, makes them feel as all good poetry should.

    Love it, keep it up.

    I am continuously awed by your writing...it never gets old. i really like how you compare his love to a drug, and the way you wrote it, it all fits together perfectly. you just have to remember that one day in the future, it may be tomorrow or a year from now, youll find another...just never give up hope

    Yeah i'm just using this to respond to ur comment. thanks. but u don't know what kinna position i'm in right now in my love life. that only tells part of it. i'm pretty f-ed up with relationships. they never work right. or they work too well for to many ppl if ya catch what i mean.....i have problems with them. it may be a good poem that may be true but that's only part of it. what i'm going through right now is pretty difficult and most wouldn't understand. hey do u have a messanger or myspace or anything i could add u on? just curious if u don't want ta tell me it's ok. i'm cool with that. c ya.
