My Addiction

Based on truth,
hidden by lies,
pain prevails,
love just dies.

Broken heart,
anguish unsaid,
unreal insights,
hope is now dead.

Fleeting soul,
obvious pain,
unknown feelings,
try to stay sane.

Captured innocence,
wilting grace,
lost emotion,
hidden some place.

Wounded aspirations,
overflowing tears,
burning guilt,
trapped by fears.

Unkind words,
bleeding hope
opened hearted,
breathe...just cope.

Stolen dignity,
poisoned kiss,
fretful rumors,
unforgotten bliss.

Wishful thinking,
tormented thought,
unwanted temptation,
reality unsought.

Unfound truth,
lustful obligations,
loving understanding,
un-willful situations.

Mislead love,
promises go broken,
harmful restoration,
un-missed little token.

Fantasies un-fulfilled,
repeated phrases,
un-spoken words,
lost in the mazes.

Traced past,
unruly fights,
miss-communication,
shattering sights.

Shy blushes,
hole dug deeper,
dulled senses,
tripped by the love reaper.

Unwound questions,
crushed dreams,
terrified whispers,
silent screams.

Twisted conclusions,
threatened reputation,
melted heartache,
false acusation.

Scared little girl,
if only you knew,
how much I wish,
I wasn't falling in-love with you.
