uh-dik-tid

_{–adjective
devoted or given up to a practice or habit or to something psychologically or physically habit-forming.

i am addicted.
i am lost.

inside you, inside substance.
abuse, of the best kind. sometimes
i get the urge to-

choke myself,
choke on you,
throw you up,
throw myself down,
break down,

under your power.

you're hell's own heaven. welcoming, and sickening and beautiful.

i am the true grim reaper.
the harbinger of death,
the bringer of darkness.

i am infectious.
the weakness that everyone succumbs to,
the one thing that no one can resist.

i am in you.
the needles that prick your once delicate skin,
the bottles that touch your once lush lips.

i am the feeble while
you are the strong. you're the only
one that doesn't treat me like a stranger.

i almost told you that i loved you.
i'm not a liar. you just seem to manipulate
my feelings when every bone in my body is

telling me to spit you into the sunshine.
sunshine that burns in my brain makes my
heart feel explosive. you make me alive.

i am the temptress.
i lure you in with promises
of happiness and bliss.

i am the seductress.
i beckon you to me
and you come; willingly.

i am the siren.
i call out to you
and you answer, loyally every time.

i envy the way you see the world
which is why i inhale, ingest, inject
you because you give me your eyes.

i am only awake when i'm lying in a bath
of poison, letting you soak through my
skin so we can never be apart.

i want to marry you, keep you by my side
so we can watch as my brain implodes inside
my skull. your name is a synonym for destroyer.

today, my darling, we are wed.
you, are my most beautiful bride -
in your tattered white dress,
your chapped and pale lips,
the big dark circles
which outline your once
beautifully blue eyes.

your long and bony fingers
bear my ring forevermore
you press my lips to yours
and together we will be.

the best and only wedding present that
you gave me are the blue-black wedding rings
around my eyes that i paid for myself.
and i will pay for a lot more. as my
present to you is my mind, body and soul
which is now yours for the taking.

you're a giver;
you've given me life,
a light in my eyes,
a party in my brain,
and a shock to my nervous system.

so now all i ask, is that i be the giver.
and you can take me. all of me.}
