"Him Anonymous"
Slipping back into him
like any addict
back to the needle
to the bottle
the sex
for the wrong reasons
when there are no other comforts
the world is cold alone
those few weeks of cold turkey
gave her the shakes
so she intoxicates herself
on his kisses
loses herself
in his body
avoids his eyes
knowing the regret will linger
longer and more painful than any hangover
and wondering if twelve steps
in any direction
will keep her away.
