Love Poem: Addicted

Addicted

I was looking around
Then suddenly
The feelings I once had for you
Were again found
I realized I was standing
On shaky ground
All was spinning
Control was coming unwound
Straining to make a sound
No words would form
Struggling to make sense of everything
Cause I was feeling torn
Needing to let go of it all
The things that were wrong
But I knew either path I took, I would fall
I’ve never been very strong
Oh but I attempted to hold on
To a love that had long been gone
I tried to make the out of control emotions stall
But it was inevitable all along
And I knew then it was time to move on
It was you and not him that lit a fire
Deep and forever burning in my soul
You are my hearts desire
You I can’t let go
I need to finish what I started
Knowing it could leave me broken hearted
I have to get all this out of my head
The words need out and need to be said
I can right now only fantasize
Of one day when I can look into your eyes
And once again be hypnotized
Even though holding on this way
Hurts so damn much
And I long to have you here
Needing your touch
The thought of again letting you go
Well it makes me hurt even more so
Now I know what being in love really is
How it really feels
And the pain of losing the one you’re in love with
It never seems to heal
No matter how many years come to pass
You have been a part of me for far to long
It’s like some kind of drug
Some may call me crazy
Let them
I know without a doubt I’m in love
Every night I pray to the heavens above
That somehow we will start anew
Guess I've always known it's true
I’m addicted to you…     
                                                                             …I’ll still be here waiting in line
                                                                            Please don’t shut me down this time
                                                                            Give me some kind of sign
