Addiction Denial Poem by Jennie Scheihing

They are wrong. I am
Not. I can quit you
Anytime I want. I
Am not addicted. I can
Live a day without
Calling you. I spend
The day listening for
The phone to ring
Instead. I can thing of
Something other than
You. But you're smile pops
Up every other thought. I
Can give you up
Anytime I want to.
Trust me. I am not
Addicted to your beautiful
Face. I am not addicted
To your kind, gentle
Words. I am not addicted to
Your deep stares or you
Embracing hugs. I am not.
I can quit you
Anytime I want.
I
Am
Not
Addicted
To
You.
