addiction

i was told a story once
it led me to believe in love
and i trusted my mother and father
and i loved women without fear

i painted myself and nearly let her die

i promised myself i would never love again

i lynched myself with love's noose

never would i love again
i did not cry with them on their knees
i did not cry when my love died
i did not cry when i thought i died

i did not love again
until you.
