you were nicotine
my addiction
a detrimental affliction

every time i was around you
i was high
on your toxicity

every touch was sparking electricity,
with a magnetic pull
and my positivity was always
so damn attracted
to your negativity

with you
i always felt
like

i was f l y i n g

until
i realized
i was f
a
l
   l
    i
   n
            g

and you
didn't even try
to save me

the lack of your presence
the lack of your touch
the withdrawals
screwed with
my sanity

now i am only
a g h o s t
of whoever it is
i used to be

but i promised myself
you weren't allowed
to ruin me

so i burned
all the bridges
between us
and let the blazing flames
guide me
down another path

far

a w a y

from

you

and

your

poisonous

mind
