[hometext] => My fight with addiction is a constant struggle. 70 days clean!
[bodytext] => You told me I'd always be loved,
you told me I belonged.
That next time would be better,
if I could just hold on.
You spoke to me in dreams,
made sure I would remember,
that without you I am nothing,
that some things are forever.
Now we might not be handcuffed,
but you've got me on a leash.
It makes no difference if I run,
I'm still not free, there's no release.
Suddenly my visions doubled;
You're just like what they said!
Will you and I grow old together,
will you still live once I am dead?
I see you in the mirror,
I know what I must do.
The thing about addiction is,
without me you are nothing too.

This is excellent! Well worded and the pain was felt as I read along. Keep it up- 70 days and counting. One day at a time. . .

| Love your piece, I can relate addiction is such a *****, a devil on our shoulder for the rest of our lives. But on drugs we have no soul anymore or creativity, when I was active i didn't write a thing for months and months you hold a pen to a paper and have nothing good to say. |

Sad to hear about your drug problem but great news that you're now clean. I have never touched drugs or drink but know what it does to you. Good write and KEEP CLEAN!
All the best, Chris. |

Don't mind the subject (then again nobody cares about a comment's subject).
I like this poem. I don't know exactly how the feeling is, but I like the words "without you I am nothing". I kind of have that feeling with someone that I'm with right now. Oh, and you commented on my poems a long time ago, but I never remembered your account name until I looked at my poems. So, I'm just returning back a comment and I must say, your poems have interesting titles. I shall read them when I have the time.
