Addiction

I thought I knew Addiction
Until I saw your hazel eyes
And I thought I knew Wanting
Until I kissed your lips
I thought I knew Bliss
Until you held my hand
And I thought I knew Pleasure
Until you showed me there was more
I thought I knew Love
Until I fell for you

I thought I knew Hurt
Until I saw you with her
And I thought I knew Confusion
Until you couldn't choose
I thought I knew Pain
Until you never called
And I thought I knew Heartbreak
Until "we" were really over
I thought I knew You...
Until I really did

This isn't the best poem I've ever written, but it is my favorite. It was inspired by my my first love, first really long relationship, and first crushing heartbreak. (All the same person.) Be as mean as you want to, because I'm still learning to write, and I definitely need pointers! ;)
