Listen to poem:
Addicted To Pain
I would never be able to understand a cutters concept
Just for that adrenaline rush it's the pain they accept
But I think I got the hint with my dealings with you
That same rush of pain through the things that we do
We drive each other crazy mentally and emotionally
You're a harmful drug but instead I want you close to me
I'm addicted to pain because I keep coming back
Much like that drug addict looking for crack
The emotional turmoil of you changing your mind
Or your spontaneous movements from time to time
That pain I gain when I see that you're feeling down
Trying to help alleviate it is why i stick around
It must be an addiction for me not to give out
Having human addictions is what this is about
Relationships and drugs can be looked at the same way
Depending on how much contact with them from day to day
No one likes needles but enjoy the after affect
I love making up but I don't like when you're upset
Now I understand the statement "Pick your poison"
I think that's what happen the day you were chosen
