My Addiction
Every time I let go,
It keeps pulling me back.
Toxic, unhealthy...
Coping skills I lack.
I try to move on...
The desire's too strong.
I feel what is right
But I need to be wrong.
When I get a taste,
Nothing else exists.
Narrow tunnel vision,
I simply live for this.
Floating on clouds,
This moment is bliss.
Without it with me,
I'm stuck in an abyss.
Yearning for it
Just one last time.
I don't care how I fall;
I'm seeking the climb.
The power it has,
The passion intense,
I know I shouldn't--
It doesn't make sense.
A temporary win
Engulfed in pleasure.
Defeat inevitable;
Too hard to measure.
It has my heart.
My love runs deep.
I'm aware of the price;
It hasn't been cheap.
Souls tightly bound;
They cannot be undone.
I doubt I can stop
Until I know we are one.
