You're only my drug,
but I'm heavily addicted.
This insanity; this love
is not what I predicted.

Like a hopeless drunkard
yearning for wine.
I'm dying of thirst,
and you are my brine.

Withdrawal befalls
when we say goodbye.
The symptoms are my loneliness
and the tears that I cry.

What we have is magic.
Boy, you make me fly.
And everytime I'm with you
it's like a brand new high.

I just have one question.
Whatever did you do;
how did you make me
fall in love with you?
"She looks to the stars and wishes upon one; then waits for love at the next rising sun" <3

This was a well written poem. It had a very nice flow and rhythm to it. I enjoyed the rhyming, and none of it seemed forced. I was just being carried through it. You had a nice use of figurative language in here as well. The only thing about this poem, is that the idea behind it is kind of cliche and overused. I still think that you manged to make it unique and your own, but this is the only thing that is holding your poem back. It reminds me of something that I have read or heard before. However, I did enjoy it and you do have talent (:
One nit-pick:
how did you make me,
fall in love with you?
I would just add in a comma, to help the flow.
Also, I felt like this line interrupted the rhythm:
Withdrawal befalls

Overall, this was a nice poem and I liked it. Pm if you have any questions!
I'd like to think I'm creative... instead of just plain weird ;D



Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
