ex-friend or ex-lover I wasn't clear
but she said
"he had the intense focus of the alcoholic"
and it explained a lot for me
I had never put it together
a quality of the addict
is a singularness of purpose
-consumption of the substance-
but this extreme attention
can be leveled at a person
like a spotlight
the recipient feels seen, feels distinct
it can translate as charm.
Whether honest connection
or manipulation
something to be aware of. The wattage.
