I'm numb to the pain of loneliness, <br />Unable to feel its sting, <br />I can't respond to the emptiness, <br />Or the despair it used to bring <br /> <br />I can't remember the burning tears <br />I cried in my solitude, <br />Nor the long nights that were filled with fears <br />When terrifying thoughts would intrude <br /> <br />I found remnants of a chain I wore <br />That shackled me to a stone, <br />A dark abyss was mine to explore, <br />Where I always found myself alone <br /> <br />I vaguely recall the sleepless nights <br />Consoling my weary heart, <br />Forcing my spirit to soar to heights <br />Where I could smile, and healing would start <br /> <br />No longer is my fate predicted <br />In the sad song of the dove, <br />I'm drugged..... and hopelessly addicted <br />To the opiate that is your love!<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-addiction-44/
