Addict Poem by Amanda Marie Swiatek

When your eyes caught mine
I had a moment of weakness
I forced the pain down my
throat
so desperate to be gone with you
the moment when you told me
I deserved to die
I am stronger than you
I love
I care
I feel everything so deeply
You feel nothing
I am beautiful
You are nothing
I am god
You are nobody
I am love
I am spirit
I am the earth
You are nothing
Nothingness doesn't deserve me
Nothingness doesn't know me
Nothingness doesn't know
how iv'e grown
how I love everyone I meet
how my darkness blossomed into a soul
creating color
I am no longer a victim to your unhappiness
I am peace
I am silence
I am hurt, pain, and emotion
all at once
As I wait for the moment
when you decide to find peace with me
to love with me
