the greatest high

By forbidden

love has made me many things in such a short time.
i have become a man,
one so deeply haunted,
chased by my thoughts of you.
then i became a begger.
a lost soul, searching for a home.
one everlasting safe haven with you.
finally, pushed over the edge.
you've created an addict,
hooked on the hope you bring.
making you the most priceless drug of all.
i'd gladly spend an eternity searching,
fighting from one high to the next.
all because you're my greatest high.

    this is wonderful, you've captured so much with so few words, we are all addicts at some point and love is the most vicious addiction of all because it poisons us with hopes and dreams and there is no cure for that ~kristy
