You

The source of my affliction
The object of my addiction
The place to numb my pain
The way to stay insane

You

The direction of my hate
The narrow minded fate
The tunnel vision nears
The guide writ by fears

You

Tore every atom of my existence
You laughed at my resistance
The flesh eating disease
That put my mind at ease

You

Were not a razorblade or pill
That would suffice just to kill
You were not a bottle or a knife
That would end my lasting strife

You

Were closer than I ever knew imaginable
The way you infested me was unfathomable
You were destroying me from the inside out
You were hiding in my own self doubt

You

Lost somewhere in my insecurity
Eating every last inch of purity
Curled up inside my low self esteem
Stealing the last drop from the canteen

You

The closest enemy I've befriended
The only way this hatred could have ended
Was to look in the eye of your greatest fear
And find that it's nothing but a silly mirror

You

I don't know what you mean in the description, but I liked your poem. It kept me interested, and although it looks long, the seperation from each section gives the reader a nice break. I was wondering how you would wrap everything up, and you closed nicely in your last line. Well written. Keep up the good work!

Your fellow writer,
