Love Is The Drug

Another poem I wrote while under the influence. This time it was weed though (cannabis is also good for creativity IME) - Keira was there when I wrote it and I assured her I mean every bit...and I DO!

LOVE IS THE DRUG
She's the first love of my life
Emotions cut me like a knife
When I see Keira at the door
Nothing matters anymore

When I'm with her I feel whole
Without her I can lose control
I wish that we could live together
I hope this love will last forever

All the others just wanted drugs
Keira's actually in love!
She tells me I'm worth more than shit
And I believe her - she is it!

Love is like the best of drugs
You don't come down when high on love
How was I to ever know?
Have I had love before? Well...no

Keira is my everything
I love to wrap her in my wing
I love to feel her warm embrace
To see the smile on her face

When I met her that was it
I knew I'd need her....she's my hit!
And now I have her I rejoice
I've finally found my 'drug of choice'!

Okay I have experienced love before, but it was with a guy and
-I prefer girls by far
-Taylor (my first and only - other than Keira - romance) was a relationship where we loved each other but the relationship was still centred on drugs cos we were both addicts; him to opiates, me to meth (he died of a heroin OD, in my arms, then I stupidly started shooting H that night...)....Keira and I are both meth addicts but we are working on getting our use down together and so far we're being pretty successful, and our relationship is built on SO MUCH ELSE!!!

I haven't put this in 'Words' cos its's too personal - I don't want anyone dissing it for being too 'soppy' or anything. This poem means a lot to me cos it's been the best way I've been able to express how much I genuinely love Keira...though there really are no words to really express that feeling! (love is confusing....but amazing!)

 

I love this poem, Lydia - it captures the playful and lighthearted spirit that you and Keira share.

You are both worth far more than drugs

 

That is such a beautiful poem DW. You can really write good poetry you know that! This one is really good though perhaps because of the inspiration you had for it .

I have no doubt that you meants every single word of it. It ain't exactly hard to tell that you 2 are crazy about each other. I am really glad that you found each other and that 2 such cool and loving people have found happiness.

 

Awww that was really sweet. I'm feeling pretty low today (meth comedown + not being able to see you again till next week!), but reading this brought a smile to my face. Love you hun!

 

all these comments meant a lot to me

im glad i cud put a smile on ur face, Keira

and Mariposa/PA - thank u for ur words
Mariposa - means a lot to me to know im worth more than drugs (i know KEIRA is, but i often hav a hard time convincing myself I am...)...btw i owe u an email (trust me - im working on it....slowly but surely!!!!)
PA - ur totally right, were crazy bout each other! and ur compliments mean a lot to me, coming from someone equally cool and loving! (and i think u know exactly how i feel if im right....) :D

im glad ive found a place to let out my creativity thats a bit less...i dunno....(critical?)....than 'Words', which i enjoyed posting my poetry in, but often felt deflated at the responses
