Toxic
I'm in love...
But this bitch has got to go
She lubricates the rhyme
And the rusted chain of my my mind...
Â
But this bitch has got to go...
I'm smittenÂ
In this toxic relationshipÂ
I am the sacrificial zinc diodeÂ
She's the rust free ship
Sedated and fixated
My sights begin to dip
She pulls the trigger violently
Firing blindlyÂ
From the hip
She gets me through the dayÂ
With counterfeit emotions
I'm a slave to her magic potion
She alters the gulf stream in the oceans
False positivity she emitsÂ
Â
The colours that she shinesÂ
Easily overpower the natural dull grey
I'm the docile wood pigeon...
She's the bird of pray
She's the cure to dyslexia
A code to unlock the complex page
Forever at my side like a parasitic twin...
Whenever I'm in doubtÂ
She shows her dorsal fin
She also shows her teeth, with a wry smile/grin
Monday mornings feel harsh and bitter
With a temptation to push the reset buttonÂ
And blindly begin againÂ
Available to the highest bidder...Â
With or without prescription
The opposite of virtueÂ
She's comfortably camouflaged sin

Powerful and creative write well done.
Thanks Simon. I tried something a bit different for this one. It's not usually the way I write.Â

Wow! This goes so deep into the pain and pleasure that is addiction, so brilliantly written Syd. I love how you wrote it! đđ˝
Thank you SL. It's certainly written from the heart. I'm glad you picked up on that. I always appreciate your comments.

Brilliant write Syd . We all have our addictions even though we know they are destroying us. The pleasure and the pain --- 2 sides of the same coin. DD XÂ
Thank you DD. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. Yes I agree, we all have our own addictions in some form or other. Apologies for the late reply.
