Addiction

I just realized..

You’ll cost me dearly when you’re gone;
I know the time isn’t so far.

I’ve been dependent,
giving you huge space in my life.

My eyes are tired,
having gazed at you throughout.

My arm aches,
having held you for so long.

With you on bed,
I couldn’t rest.

My life feels so empty;
It has none but you.

You are drained;
So am I.

But still, I’m not letting you go.

It’s time to stop.
This isn’t going to happen anymore.

I should adapt,
either with someone new,
or to live without you.

After all this,
what’s that I’ve learnt?

Not to have a charging pin,
next to my bed!
