Achilles Heel

You are truly my achilles heel,
for I hate and love you with equal measure.
You are the drug now in my veins,
the one the dealer takes away
to deny me of what I need,
like sucking out the air I breath
from the bell jar on the mantle where you keep me torn
with nought but a memory of how my love was born.
Out of the night like a green sour liquor
dripping down my throat to keep me etherised.
falling into this catatonic stupor,
a melancholy existance with little hope of a future.
And whatever you give, you destroy the next day
but still my heart is forced to obey.
Like some cruel joke the world wants to play,
for I have no choice, this is how I feel.
I've fallen in love, with my achilles heel.
