My Drug

heart rate increasing

blood rushing through my veins

my mind deceives me

hallucinations fill my brain 

a touch on my skin

every breath becoming paper thin

my vision is blurred

words are transferred

whispers of i love you

the voices breaking down the wall

there is no time to undo

each one begins to fall

a drug unlike any other

i take one but need another

withdrawal is unbearable

nothing even comparable

a high without any lows

like a dream, i suppose

a sigh with every injection

leaving me filled with love and affection

I think this is a very interesting and complex piece of writing. On the one hand, while love and affection is meant to give the high without the lows, there is also talk of hallucination and deceit which suggests darker undertones and an experience of love not being everything. I would be interested to know what thought processes created this work and I would certainly read more of your poetry. i appreciated the complexity of the poem expressed in language that I could understand

I agree. Alive and tempting words.
