Spiraling

Judith Kaufman

Like methamphetamine
I thirst for the high that is
your voice
your text.
Like an undercover cop
the phone betrays me
denying my injection
You are death to my self-esteem
Yet I need a fix

You’re not good for me
You strangle my self-image
with your lavish praise
of others
You choke my natural charm
Yet I need a fix

You know
I’m better than you
So you have to bring me
down a peg
or two
I obsess
I need my fix

My obsession
I spy
I stalk
You have to go
I don’t know how to get rid of you
You have to go
My addiction
I’m spiraling out of control
You don’t love me
You use me
You prey on me
You have to go
I want to take a gun to you
You have to go
I stalk you
You have to go
my obsession
my addiction
You have to go
I dream of meeting you
On the road
gun in hand
you have to go
Why not me?
Why?
You have to go
I need my fix
Obsession decrees my world
I need my fix
Addiction masticates me
You have to go
You have to go
You have to go
You
Have
To
Go

Every day I think
I’m done with you
No fix
Today’s the day
I’m done with you
I’m in control
And I drive down the road
thirty minutes
my Eyes glaze over
I need my fix
My resolve undone
I need my fix
My fix
My fix
My
Fix
You
Have
To
Go
