Sample Poems

"Craving" by Anonymous

I crave your touch, your voice, your scent,

Like a drug, I need your presence.

I'm lost without you, a ship adrift,

My heart aches, my soul bereft.

Your love is a poison, sweet and slow,

It consumes me, leaving me hollow.

I'm trapped in a cycle, I can't escape,

A slave to my addiction, my fate.

"Redemption" by Anonymous

From the depths of despair, I rise,

With each step, I break the ties,

That bound me to addiction's hold,

My spirit now, a story to be told.

Through pain and loss, I've found my way,

To heal my heart, each passing day,

I'm reclaiming my life, my own,

Love addiction's grip, forever gone.

This collection of poems is a testament to the power of poetry to provide solace, understanding, and hope to those struggling with love addiction. Through the exploration of raw emotions, vulnerability, and strength, these verses offer a path towards redemption and healing.

If you are struggling with love addiction, know that you are not alone. There is help available, and poetry can be a valuable tool on your journey towards recovery.
