because of you || poetry

f o u r t y - n i n e

my head screams at the idea of loving you again.
because all you've done was hurt me.
but my heart will never stop loving you,
so time after time,
i will continue to let you damage me
because i am addicted to your love.
the nicotine from your kisses
the ethanol from your touch
will always lead me back to you.
it's funny isn't it?
my entire life
i've been told to stay away from drugs.
but honey,
you are my drug.
and i can't help
but come back for more
