My Addiction

Cartoonized image of a young couple

The last image on my mind before I lay my head,

Remains the same when I wake from my bed.

I refuse to admit,

Are you becoming my addict?

Will this imagery ever come to an end?

 

Yes I am confused,

My heart is now being ruled

But when I checked to see the culprit,

To my amusement I couldn’t believe

All along it was you.
