wish i could’ve gone to rehab
to get you out of my heart
never had an addiction
like my need for you
it ate me up from the outside in
consumed me blood, bone and soul
really should have known
right from the start
to just say
no, no, no

always easier to see that in retrospect you know….should have said no but in the moment…well there is no hope for us…and rehab for a broken heart…might not be a bad idea…smiles.
if only it could work that way, huh? {smile}
Always hard to say NO when there are matters of the heart. Easier to to say YES despite the cost! The beating heart is eerie.
i know about the heart image ~ couldn’t find anything i really liked for the poem. still looking though. {smile} ♥
So true… relationships can be just as addictive as substances.
they certainly can! ♥ thanks for stopping by, Laurie!
Sometimes it’s difficult to escape ourselves. Nice one.
thank you, Anthony! much appreciated.
That heart almost made me jump! Some “love” is better answered with a no!
i’m not happy with the heart either, but i just can’t find an image i like! {smile} thanks so much for stopping by, Robyn! ♥
Oh, but something inside kept saying yes yes yes. Didn’t it?
That heart gif is creepy.
okay, okay! yes the heart is creepy. it’s a “tortured” love poem and i can’t find an image i like better. {smile} thanks for dropping by, Sis! ♥
Very (gruesomely?) honest, to the point… but often, that’s how it is, with matters of the heart. A very open poem (or wound?), certainly.
i agree the heart image is gruesome. {smile} i’d say she definitely has an open wound, still. thank you for your visit and comment!
ugh..sometimes we know we should say no but not so easy at times…really love the pic…was staring at it for a bit before i started reading the poem..fascinating..
you’re the only one who’s liked the heart, claudia! everyone else is complaining about it. {smile} thanks for your visit! ♥
Yay! I like it! Love is definitely consuming. But if it isn’t consuming, it isn’t love! So live it because you’re never going to find a better love than one which is consuming! Blatant ‘No’ – so a great one for the challenge! :)
enjoyed your interpretation, Chhavi! ♥ thank you for your visit and comment!
Some relationships do affect us like that, dont they, kiddo? You nailed it in your poem.
Love, love the visual .. it certainly grabbed my attention. What followed is a great poem!!!
The picture caught me off guard at first, but the poem is excellent. We all have suffered the addiction of love.
YES NO MAYBE I think sometimes just get mixed and stuck in a heart
I guess we always hope in these situations when no would have saved a lot of heart ache. That is one spooky picture or the moving heart!
Should have said no…that heart ani looks amazingly real ~
This poem led me places I did not expect to go. I don’t often think of a literal beating heart. It would be nice to be able to fix the hurts or to have the forsight to have said no from the start.
