love junkie

oh man,
been clean now for a month
maybe longer
but oh i want a fix,
NEED a fix
can feel the itch
the craving.

Oh I look normal.
Respectable.
Proper.
But inside I'm shaking
the dt's
afraid I will get weak,
afraid I will be tempted
by the next damned joy junkie
with shining eyes
who will put the love
right in my hands.

C'mon baby---
you know you want it,
all the pretty colors.
Dear god
I do.
I want it,
and i don't care
that I am clean
because I WANT to be a junkie again.
I want sweet bliss,
oblivion
anything
but this stark night
without my crutch,
without my fix,
alone with myself.

They don't have a 12 step program
for the battered
the broken
the needy crazy bitches like me.
And the worst part
is that I don't know
if the love drug made me whole---
or just made me not care
that I was empty.
