I let you go,

My affliction,

Your sweetness gone,

An addiction.

Hit rock bottom,

Cannot hide,

Withdrawal feeds,

Where love died.

Nightmare vultures,

Haunting me,

Around every turn,

It’s you I see.

Triggered by greed,

Consumed by lust,

You’re crushing me up,

Life turns to dust.

Wander for relief,

Failure to confide,

I’m not whole,

Feel barely alive.

Turning bitter,

No sweet release,

Unending journey,

A search for peace.

Never a rose,

Just a thorn,

Burnt aftertaste,

Of love’s final scorn.
