They tell me to stay away
that you are no good for me.
I hear their voices,
understand their concerns,
but I cannot stay away.
You are my life,
my reason for living,
my addiction.
I could no sooner walk away
as I could stop breathing.
Prove their accusation wrong.
Show them what I see
when I look into your eyes,
your soul.
Show them that you are the one
who makes me whole,
that addiction
is not the end
but the beginning.

To See What I See 
Is that addiction writing….it has to be.
Yes, that is my addiction. The need to write, to get what is in my head onto paper. But a lot of what I write is from my characters. I become so immersed in their lives that it bleeds out into my poems. Sounds a little crazy, but then I’m a character based writer. 🙂
