he stood waiting for me

the way he holds himself is simply

captivating

                                  i knew you'd be back


he has not only taken my hand

but my mind

and my sanity

along with it  

                               you can only fight so long till you give up, my dear


i pretended like i didn't know

that i would come

running

     no, 

sprinting

back into the arms of

addiction

               his cold embrace feels oddly warm

      the facade doesn't last forever, sweetheart
