Hooked On A Feeling

by Michelle   Feb 21, 2004


Hook, line and sinker
I fell for your lines
What was I thinking
All of those times?
You didn't even have to reel
For I jumped heartfirst on in
Now I'm the one here reeling
And I don't know how to swim.
Just like a drug addict
Needing crack-cocaine
To withdraw from you now
Would bring way too much pain.
I thought I'd give you a whirl
But you're in my system now
Now I must get over this addiction
And I just don't know how.
Things aren't very easy
From the inside looking out
I hate this captive feeling
Inside my head, I shout...
Why did it have to be me?
You control in this way???
Take your hooks out of me!
And this, to you I say...
You have brought me to my knees
You have kept me from being free
And now that I have broken away
Please don't take any more of me.

    Hiya stranger!!!
    Addicted to the wrong person? It`s a theme that runs throughout my life, and may I just say these lines have encapsulated many a black night in my life perfectly. Whatever subject you write about you seem to nail it so elegently and succinctly. I`ve missed your verse these last couple of days and found myself turning the computer on as soon as I got in just to see the latest fruits of your craft. Thank you so much for the tender compliments you gave to my poem, thankyou so much for being so talented and thankyou so much for being you!
