Doing the Rinse

Yinseriv

 

Everything learned about love in my past was held onto

An old bag saved because

I never knew any different.

Like my drug of choice I lovingly placed you in a spoon

Drawn swirling into my life

Injected so I might feel whole.

All this time clean doesn’t equal recovery if I used you

An object to banish

The darkness from my soul.

You’ve given up and left running from my needs

Insanely I replay conversations

Desperate like doing a rinse

A bag is okay to save but this poem is not... 10 for effort.

What an insightful poem. I love the line "All this time clean doesn't equal recovery if I used you". I can think of no stronger sentence.
