Does love justify what I do?
by Jean Jones
"We're not evil because of the evil we do but we do evil because we are evil."
—The Addiction
"What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."

I stopped writing because I found you.
You were what I wanted,
the person who was my lover
that I hoped was a friend,
but in the end,
you were what I wanted,
Someone who could drain me dry
every time I saw you-
I wished it was love,
I hoped it was love,
but in the end it was addiction-
My addiction matched w yours-
The vampire and the heroin user-
Both the same in the end-
We do evil because we are evil.
—The Addiction
