Here We Go Again

You are the epitome

of drinking poison to kill myself—

then building an immunity,

or worse, addiction.

As if I,

and everything I do,

is merely a testament

to the fact

that I will always choose you

over me.

Dizzied by it,

I circle back.

What you call victory

is my relapse.

A spinning,

perpetual impediment—

you gain worth,

I lose my mind.

Every time is the last time,

and I say it

with sincere sentiment.

And yet,

I always end up back here

against my better judgment.
