Addiction

by Twinkie - Virgo

Deceitful love is the most expensive kind of addiction to maintain
It will cost you your happiness, your health, and drive you insane
I believed there was true love to gain
So I continued to nurture this habit, this falsity, this pain
When my source of this deceitful love abandoned me
I was mercilessly thrown into rehab, with this poisonous drug flowing thru, unable to be freed

Memories and tears served as a cheap substitution 
Fueling my cravings for your abuse, the source of my addiction

Time has passed 
My cravings did not last
You were a bad habit, an addiction I now look upon, aghast

Reason for writing:

    I've discovered how physical intimacy can create dangerous illusions about your feelings for another.  Never again will I step toward that path.   In order to share that part of me, he must prove through his actions that he is worthy of my trust.
