Addicted

Addicted


I know you're hurting
Hurting for me
And I'm not going to fix you
You thought you could replace me
Find someone else 
To fill the void
The space that I occupied
Somewhere between
Waking and dreaming
And at first
The others were fun
A pleasant diversion
Gave you a hi
But you've quickly discovered
That they aren't me
They don't quite fix you
The way I used to
Now more hollow and empty
Because they take more from you
Than they give
Unlike me
Who rarely took more
Than what I was allowed
And gave so much more
Than I should
And you could have come to me
At any point 
You could have said something
Anything 
To make me feel that I was
Important
Wanted
Needed
But you let me go
And let time slip through your fingers
And my hurt grew to anger
And then to indifference
So I no longer care
I have moved on
I am no longer
Addicted
To you
