Inherited Traits

You told me once

Through your tears

You were always

Addicted.

To a substance

Or to a person

And right then

It was me.

I smiled

And held you

And dried your tears.

But I didn't understand

Until now

What you meant.

Once you were gone

I knew

I was always

Addicted

To you.
