Addiction

a black hole in my heart
waits like a predator.

(i crouch, i watch, in
darkness you stumble
into me.
i will catch you, but never
will i let you go.)

the roar of grief and
the whistle of
falling stars
explode in my brain—

but for one brief second
i just feel
THE EMPTINESS is filled.

it grows and it grows.

(one day, i will consume you.)

(open your eyes.
the world is gone.)

(and now you will never be complete.)
