Poetry: You are my drug

by Darren Prine

Created on: April 07, 2009

I woke up in rehab and didn't know why,

I'm not an addict, I'm a regular guy.

Sure I did drugs, some meth and cocaine,

but me, a drug addict, to me that's insane.

They sent me to doctors who asked of my use,

I admitted quite freely about drug abuse.

"Ah Ha!" they exclaimed, "you admit your disease",

"I am sick" I did share, "and my heart, it may seize".

"I am out of control, my heart and soul ache",

"my nerves are so fried that I fear I may break".

I am guilty of loving, of wanting to share,

my life with a girl who just hasn't been there.

My eyes fill with tears and my stomach will churn,

when I think that my love she may never return.

I'll admit I'm an addict and my life's in a whirl,

but am I addicted to drugs or just to a girl?
