Small obsessions

Sometimes I write into the void
I address the lover
I have not met yet
Or have not touched
The could-have-been
The will-it-be?

Sometimes I write to my addictions
Small and big ones
Material ones and not.

Who said cowardice
is not another pill to swallow?

I was always smart about the wounds
-keep them invisible
they're usually easier to hide.

Sometimes my addictions are of the mind;
small obsessions, sometimes to songs
or words
or unaddressed emotions.

The hunger always eats from the inside out.
