Mental health poetry

Love

When it comes down to it,
Love is an addiction.
We as human beings crave
The feelings that comes with love.
The feeling of being wanted by
Someone drives our every step.
It gives us a high that is far better
Than any drug or alcohol.
But the low that comes with it
Is ten times worse.
The feeling of emptiness and rejection
Hurts worse than any knife wound
Or gun shot. It rips us to our
Very core, tearing us apart
Until we are nothing more than
Ribbons of our former selves.
But yet we still chase it, running headlong
Into something that could destroy us...
