Withdrawing

I just realized I lost myself in you

I don’t know where I am

My entire waking process

When I’m not at work is

Consumed by thoughts of you

I am stunned by how powerful

All of this is

Many of my friends say you

Are my drug and now I

Am withdrawing from you

If this is what withdrawal is from

A drug…I pity addicts

This is the most horrific experience

I have ever been through

It seems almost laughable for

I have suffered many losses

But this isn’t so much a loss

As a “losing someone loss”

This is a loss of myself

I don’t know how to get

Me Back
