My Drug

Sweeter than honey
More potent than ecstasy
Feels like I'm going crazy
To know what they do to me.

More addictive than heroin 
More powerful than cocaine
I don't know what to do
They are driving me insane.

These withdrawal symptoms are harsh
As my whole body craves.
All I can do, 
is try to be brave.

I imagine tasting them
For the first time, again
Fireworks explode in my head
This must be a sin.

Lips are the drug
That I need in my life,
Not just any lips
Only the sweet lips of my wife.
