the addiction game

Poem

the push and pull of me and you is like tug of war between little kids

each side firmly stands the ground pulling hard to win

there’s never a middle ground met just one side giving into the other

it’s always me who gives into you since you never let your guard down

you know how to tug my heart strings just right and drag my heart through the muddy ground

i never have the strength to stand for myself because i’d rather lose the game than you

i will always be the one to get hurt but it’s worth it to see you gleam of victory

its a simple game youve learned by now each win gets easier for you

you don’t seem to notice my heart withering from you pulling it apart thread by thread

one day there will be no string to pull as i gave you all i had left
