Addiction…By Calvin Klein
Apart we are whole but holed
Together we fit but are broken
I cant even fathom a question
In order to find an answer to resolve this dillemma
I can neither love you or unlove you simultaneously
I can’t move in any direction
All steps carry equal measure of right and wrong paces
My options are to suffocate or breath poisonous gas
I cry shards of glass to relieve the burning sensation on my cheeks
I’m fighting invisible enemies cloaked in the guises of my friends
I’ve grown numb to numbness itself
I touch but don’t feel, I hear but don’t listen…
Instead I gouge and fail to take heed
I can’t live without you but I know you’ll kill me
Everynight I close my eyes and have beatiful visions and horrid nightmares
Yet they are the same dream
Is this Hell?
If so, is it too late to repent, I’m so sorry…
But given the opportunity, I’d sin again
Because quite simply
You don’t give me a choice not to
My Immortal…
Thought Puddles 
Delve away! I really am intrigued by the creative juices that bought this piece into existence. If it takes away from it (for me), i’ll erase very trace of insight you share. Simples.

Alright….
Well The premise of the pieces stems from a ficticious relationship between two anime characters from bleach known as Orihime (female) and Ulquoirra
Their relationship never blossoms but the male character is an antagonist and the ultimate nihilist while the female is somewhat of a plot driven proactive optimist and her affect on him is somewhat limited but long lasting (to the reader at least), so i thought i would steal some inspiration from it.
ulquoirra has a hole in his chest from a missing heart so this idea of whole and still hollow came into play I wanted to work with. Also I imagined an opposite (together and broken) as a striking counter part to weigh it against.
The last four lines revolves around a conflict between two male characters called Vamp and Raiden from the Metal Gear solid conflicts, who cross paths multiple times. Vamp is a bi-sexual antagonist who’s killed Raiden previously and has come back (infact i think they’ve killed each other before). Vamp is an immortal who prays on the souls of his victims but desperately enjoys the act of battle as he secretly seeks for someone to put him out of his misery. He is a masochist in the clearest sense of the word and I enjoy their relationship, especially in this encounter.
What transpires in this vid is like sex on a plate for me, for the action and just the interaction of the two characters towards each other, it’s genius, how one relishes in the madness while the other strives to create order, two sides of a chaotic self destructive union which can only be described as destructive bliss.
And the dream line comes from an episode of the Angel series in season five, where one of the character gets sent to an alternate dimension where he is in his dream life but every day is tortured and he’s stuck for eternity forever forgetting half his day each time. Depicting whether he was in hell or not was in one of the episodes, so i brought that same analogy here to address.
the rest is just observational filler masked in focusing on what is progressive and regressive movement and the inability to move that most people feel when they aren’t in something healthy.
Then I wrapped it all up in teh guise of a relationship based piece and then re-guised it as a piece about addiction and voila. All done in about 6 minutes believe it or not.

well…
I have two fictional sources for this piece, neither of them appear particularly romantic on the surface but provided the tone and structure for this beast. I could delve if you like but I’m not sure whether it would add or takeaway from the piece. It’s up to you.
