I've mentioned the word spells a bunch of times in reviews and that's what it is. Something that takes over. It can tear your mind from everything else, and sometimes ruin your life too. Its the first thing you think of in the morning and the last think at night. Your world revolves around it. You speak about it, you dream about it.
Love is a drug we all need. Its addicting. No methadone is needed if it doesn't work out. The broken heart is enough to teach us.
Nice one Jacob.

thank you for your kind words, Relic...appreciate your insights.
fab! I loved reading this one.
Love-high just beats being high on any substance. It's like no high ever but also an addiction that can get dangerous and rob you of yourself.
These ending lines, say more than what meets the eye..
"and my heart says i can't quit you
though my reason, is needling me
to get clean."
Sometimes cold turkey isn't the best thing but it's worth a try. Not quiting, drinkng. A big glass of Wild Turkey on the rocks will cure whatever ails you. Sorry about that...from one addiction to another. This was great Jacob.

thank you for your the Wild Turkey, a hare off...i appreciate the smile i got from your words.
Superb Jacob. The lines of lines and life run so closely and parallel to each other in your writes that it is hard to distinguish where they merge, s they are so seamlessly done. Giving up your addiction is never easy, but when the addiction is the cure too, then my head just implodes with the complexities of your words.
Could I just say WOW(oops already did it) This is such a great write, and I have to read Barleygirl's poem as well. Might even get another interpretation on this one. ^^ Your words are addictive to say in the least. So many lines I want to point out here make this write such a joy. Can't say no to such a treat. The occasional rhymes thrown in the mix makes this write even more enjoyable. Truly the analogy is superb!! Loved the write ^^ Thank you for sharing ^^
Oh, I relate....nothing more addictive than being in love....no matter the cost....there are more wonders to behold in every look and touch and whispered longing when spellbound by love that never fails....contrary to addiction of the kind which seeks to destroy. I totally enjoyed the metaphors ringing true to the sentiments portrayed in your fine poetry lines!
