    Addiction
    You, me & Thee
    Spinning dizzily
    I look to my right
    What do I see?
    This Thee that stands
    between you and me.
    Certainly we could be
    happier, just you and me
    But Thee holds me fast
    And fast I hold Thee
    Forever parting,
    I uncurl my fingers to reveal
    Thee, snugly held in my palm.
    Thee may try to take flight
    But my grip is now too tight
    So until I take Thee
    And absorb it into me
    The space will exist
    between us three
    Continuing to whirl

    I like this, especially the last line (good stuff) - but I couldn't figure out who/what 'thee' is.

    Sorry for the late reply! I've been working and away from the site. "Thee" is the what the person is addicted to and how an addition is almost like a 3rd party in a relationship.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
