ADDICTION

You're an addiction. 
A drug I can't quit.
An illusion of memories.
A bottomless pit.

Sweet taste of desire.
As I look into your eyes.
Longing to hold you.
Hopelessly mesmerized. 

You lit a fire in my soul.
Deep within you turned me on.
Burning embers still remain.
Though your love for me is gone.

You reached inside and stole my heart.
Youve got me crashing to the ground. 
A bad addiction is what you are.
But I can't seem to put you down
