This poem relates to the novel Candy because it deals with the main theme of addiction. In the novel the main characters are both addicted to different substances. Candy is addicted to heroin and Joe is addicted to Candy. He has to watch her deal with her heroin addiction and faces many hardships. "Because An Addict I'm Not, But I Must Watch [Her] Be", exemplifies what Joe deals with as he watches Candy become engulfed by heroin. Joe denies his addiction to Candy even though he does not directly state "An Addict I'm Not". He denies his addiction by trying to keep it secret form his family and friends. He leaves his band when Mike gets in a fight and says he is helping his sister, but in reality he is more concerned with what has happened to Candy and where she has gone.
