A Sick Addiction
I can't live without the addiction
the pain
the fear
the instability
that surrounds all that you are.
I crave the anger
that pools black
and heavy in my veins
the same way that the alcohol
rushes through yours.
I lust for the disfunction
the chaos
the hurt
that you bring.
I yearn for the bruises
the scars
the blood that
you spill
that somehow leave
my hands
stained crimson.
I am the abuser
the monster who can't forgive
the shell that you are
because I can't live without
the agony
the misery
the disgust
that you create.
Because without it
I'm just a shell too.
