Cravings

I swallow you down

to pick myself up

Thoughts of you

are no longer recreational

I'm using without a prescription

and the side effects

are starting to show

My mind is wracked

by the pangs of your withdrawal

I long for your intoxication

So, I keep these memories of you

locked away from my heart

but like a junkie in search of a fix

the broken thing still craves your high

Destroying me again

for a moment of addled bliss
