Toxic

I woke up today At around 7 am Greeted by my thoughts. How could I hurt someone I love so much By pretending to be suffering?
As tears ran down my cheeks my ulter ego Tried to convince me That my tears were not for the boy I claim to love
Images of the way he smiles at me Rushed through my head Causing me to toss and turn For the pain was far worse than torture No one has ever made me feel this way
Deep down I knew it was him I was crying for Holding onto him Hurt him more, I know. It is the tone of his voice When he speaks to me On the phone
But I cannot let him go Because he is the host And I am the parasite. For he is the only drug Keeping me sane.
I really don’t know how to feel right now. I’m all mushy on the inside....
