Addiction

I need L o V e for without it, I am but an empty vessel.

Sometimes I long to know the purest essence of loving unconditionally.
To know that I too, am what you are feeling.
And when it does not happen, a slight pinch occurs in my heart.
An aching so miniscule yet it reverberates all around me.

I cannot pretend that it means nothing.
I cannot lie to myself that I do not need it.
I know that it is only transient in what I am experiencing
and so, I whisper, “I love you,” in silence and depart to the horizon.

Today I learn to love myself more and I know I can be better.
Only when I learn to truly listen to life, will the door open once again.

I am the key.
