LOVE IS a drug

I now understand that you could never end
your addiction
and I now understand that maybe I was
your heroine
But you hardly - needed - tempting - when
your eyes
Feasted upon another

Anyway, it's all the same -
love is your drug

I left - not forever
we talked about September
You said - no promises
that you knew yourself
You felt - despite my love
the comedown you knew so well
whilst I clung - in faith
to what we had become

Empty days, sleepless nights,
No home, no rock, no guiding light
I would I had slept through our parting
I wish I'd...


You say you need to find the calm in your ocean
Sah habibi
Bas
A calm that will last a storm
God willing.
