Satellite Heart

This is the beginning.  The beginning to freedom, to laughter, criticism, hatred, lust, to a new life dedicated to me.  I am finally getting rid of the only drug I have ever known to have tried, or been addicted to; Love.  Sometimes the love you feel for someone doesn't bring out the best in you.  It only brings out the person you never thought you were but have turned into because someone held that power over you.  They didn't try to turn you into this power consuming have to know everything kind of person, thats just it.  It happened.  How do you overcome this kind of addiction? This is the answer I have been waiting a while to find out myself.  When a person is addicted to any sort of drug, whether it be a narcotic, plant, person, or even career, that brings out the worst in them, is there a way to ween yourself off the drug? Do you just go cold turkey and cut yourself off from seeing that person, or do you slowly fade away until you can stand on your own feet without feeling like your going to fall over? How do you overcome that obsession?
