Her

Your life changed when you met her.

She made you smile in ways you didn't think were possible.

She made her presence known...

She injected herself into you.

You latched on immediately.

She made you fall in love.

She told you lies and you believed them.

She told you that you couldn't live without her.

She made you sick when she wasn't around.

And, sicker when she was too hard to find.

She took your time. Your money. Your sanity.

She came between you and your health. Your friends. Your family. Your wife.

Yes, wife. You... A married man. Having an affair with a monster you couldn't let go.

She became more important than everyone and everything.

She didn't care if you had a wife, a home...if you had bills to pay. Or, if you had a meal. She wanted you to be hungry for her. And, her only.

She made you a different person. She made you do things for her that you otherwise never would have done.

She took you away from everything.

She pushed you into corners you couldn't escape.

Into rooms you were locked in.

She watched you sit in a cell and she waited for you to return.

You'd let her go for awhile but she always found her way back...

She convinced you that you needed her...

She knew how to manipulate you.

She crawled into your veins and made you hers.

You finally realized the control she had over you.

You told her it was over.

You met up now and then but you only felt worse... No longer better.

You wanted your wife. Your home. Your family.

You enjoyed your money... Your job and your freedom.

You were free. Free in the world and free from her.
