Love Addiction....

KSS77

I think I'm addicted to a fantasy. The fantasy that he can understand me. The fantasy that he is the end to all my pain. The fantasy that he will help me love again. I'm addicted to his eyes, his face, his skin, the way I feel when he is within. I'm addicted to the way I think he makes me feel but quite honestly none of it is real. I have come to a cross roads. One initiated by him and I am starting to feel like its either sink or swim. Why is it that my heart would rather wallow, would rather let the sea of emotion take me away with me fighting for survival each and every day. Why cant I pull myself up out of this sea of unhappiness and misery. He is not the problem, the problem lies within me. He has chosen to walk out of my life. I have to get it together and do what's right. I have to stand strong in my love, stand strong and face the pain. Shout to the heavens that they must stop the rain. There is no reason to hold on. There is no reason to stay. This is the end of this shit, it must end today. I have to muster up my strength, stand tall and let out a shout. "I'm a muthafucking gladiator and I will fight my way out."

When they walk out, either the fantasy ends or psychosis sets in.

Put the mess behind you and start swimming! Sinking is not an option. It doesn't matter how deep it gets, so long as you stay on top.

The attitude expressed in this musical number from Oklahoma impressed me even as the tweenie I was when I first heard it.

Many A New Day

I really like your poetry. I'm not an expert but I like it.

I have just come out of a relationship with a love addict. Swimming is the only option. The reason for the addiction is the inability to connect with yourself and love yourself. You can only take one step at a time, but make sure every step is about valuing who you are. A bath, a book, a bunch of flowers, a walk....anything that makes you feel loved and valued. Take Care.

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    For westerners, this is the other side of the world, where everything is exotic and unfamiliar.  Piracy is still a problem on the Java Sea, and English is not widely spoken. The Java Sea is about 1,600 km long,  400 km wide, and loiters loosely between the islands of Borneo to the north, Java to the south, Sumatra to the west, and Sulawesi to the east. The equator is a few degrees north, so...
