Irrevocably Infected

I was on a journey
The destination wasn't clear
I needed to experiment 
And challenge every fear

I was slightly unsure
But not at all lost
He lured me in with his mind
And the price of my heart it cost

I wanted to have just a taste
But then we really connected
Aside from everything I ever knew 
I was irrevocably infected

I tried to make sense of it all
Then easily dismissed the thought
I hadn't realized I was hooked
And too distracted to know I was caught

I mean, I was on a serious high
The one you always chase after
And the feeling was just so good
Like those deep bursts of sudden laughter 

It's not easy to admit
But the addiction became clear
Every time he was far away
I needed him close, needed him near

I urgently needed to detox
It was time to break away
I managed to stay clean 
For 3 weeks and 5 days

Put up all my guards
Avoided all the traps
And when I thought
I was strong enough



I easily relapsed

Pyramus Troilus Date: 1/18/2015 5:45:00 PM I felt for sure last night At once we said goodbye No one else will know these lonely dreams No one else will know that part of me I'm still driving away And I'm sorry every day I won't always love these selfish things I won't always live Not stopping It was my turn to decide I knew this was our time No one else will have me like you do No one else will have me, only you You'll sit alone forever If you wait for the right time What are you hoping for? I'm here and now I'm ready Holding on tight Don't give away the end The one thing that stays mine Amazing still it seems Ill be 23 I won't always love what Ill never have I won't always live in my regrets Login to Reply
