"Light travels faster than sound, that's why some people seem bright until they speak." ~ Steven Wright


You're like a drug

I'm hooked

and can't quit you.

You're like a drug:

you make me hungry,

hungry for more.

I say I hate you 

but youre a drug

a drug that doesn't fulfill.

You have a hunger in your eyes,

one that can't be satisfied.

Every time I see your gaze

I see that familiar flash of hunger:

the look of craving

and hint of desire.

Writing this poem helped me quote with things that were hurting me inside, things that were confusing me and causing a war, one that shouldn't have happened.
