Bert is still doing the drugs.

He injects it into his arm,

"Bert," I tell him sternly,

"put it away."

I know now

that he's deciding.

He's bickering

and constantly fighting with himself.

I know he's doing it for me.

"I don't think you're addicted." I say.

He stops.

"You're doing that because you're hurting. You even admitted it. Bert if you're hurting tell me. Stop confiding in something that isn't real."

and whether he liked it

or not,

I snatched it from him,

threw it out the window.

"You need something human."

I kiss his lips,

"I love you. Just talk to me. Drugs won't help you."

I don't even care now.

This is me.

And I'm destroying this part of his life.

It's parasitic for him.
