Souls Addiction

His souls addiction
calls to him once more.
Leaving me an empty shell
lying here on the floor.

I watch him
as he walks away.
I tell myself
he's only gone for today.

I pretend his words of love and comfort
are meant for my ears.
I pretend when he says, "your the one"
it soothes my growing fears.

I pretend his look of admiration
is to be seen by my eyes.
I pretend that as he slumbers
it is not me, the one who cries.
