Understanding a thing does not free you of it
Ask any addict
Let it go
Walk away
Never think about her again
Move on!
DAMN YOU!
But I go back
Over and over again
Give me another hit
Right there for me to look upon
You don’t even know I am looking at your image
And that’s alright
I see you smiling
I love that you can smile now
I hate that you smile without me
That smile is my hit
Flaunt your body
Shake your ass
Flash your tits
That smile is my hit
I thought I would make you laugh
Keep those lips grinning
You smile on without me
Perhaps in spite of me
You still smile though
That smile is my hit
I can see happiness on your face
I hope there is happiness in your heart
I understand that you are done with me
I understand that I have no more shots
I understand that you will not answer me
I understand I have trouble stopping
I understand that this is bad for me
I understand that I am just grinding the shattered bits of my heart
I understand that I need to quit
But that smile is my hit
I have my life,
My family
My friends
My job
You are no part of that
But I am not free
Because understanding a thing does not make you free of it

About the Creator

I am a guy who is bugged by words bouncing around in my head so I write them down. I bounce between stories and poems, but I put a level of honesty into all of it. Whether it is the truth of me or the truth of my characters, it is true.
