The Love Narcotic

A poem about repeated heartbreak and the cyclical nature of doomed love

falling for the love narcotic fourteen times and failed quixotic lonely attic, trapped, with static thoughts erasing sought resolve

and thus is all the trust i've left now thrust sub-deck on sails sent west red-orange sets said star, since soon such brilliance sits now whence the moon

reflecting truth to cool my skin, he blooms these lunacies within me taking ruth to tame above, so taunts the ticking second-hand of love

as seen from Earth across a void so vast, vicarious light does cast a shadow doomed to follow, joy is cursed with darkness, looming past

destroyed my heart, she did the final piece of love, she rid me of
