dont need you

im starting to realize

that i dont need you

i just really really

want you

kind of like how

our bodies crave

the things that 

are bad for us

you're my own

personal cigarette

been poisoning myself

with you, for too long

why do i want you

why am i so invested in you

when all you have done

is fill my eyes with liquid sadness

and driven me to do things i didn't want to

you made me break promises 

i knew i could keep

why do i want you

you made the scar that's

sitting, pink and fresh

on my pale arms

why do i want you

i keep telling myself

that i dont need you

but im trying to understand

why those words ring false

in my voice. 

i don't need you

You aptly describe how some relationships become a twisted knot:

you're my own


personal cigarette


been poisoning myself


with you, for too long

Thank you for the review!! I hardly ever get them anymore so I'm never sure if anyone actually reads what I write.
