My Happy Place

I can feel you
I can touch you
I crave you
I desire you

I want you so bad
I can't get enough of you

You consume me
I close my eyes
And you are there 

I've conquered several habits
but you remain my addiction

You are my ultimate high
my greatest addiction 

I need a fix………..
I need you to flow through my soul


But you are no good
You are my kryptonite 
Like venom flowing through my veins

I may be sober
By I am not free of you
I need a fix
A quick fix 

You are my happy place
Without you, I don't exist 

You are the puppeteer 
and I'm your puppet

Powerless to you control
and influence

You are the air that I breathe
But you are toxic
and polluted

The more I breathe you in
the more I disappear 

I need a fix
A quick fix

How can I defeat you?
I need you
, but you are no good for me

If I stay with you, I shall really die

Where is the silver lining?

I want to live
But you are my life

I want to stay positive 
but you bulldozed my positivity

I can't beat you 
As long as you exist 
I am forever defeated 

You are my happy place
and my quick fix

I need you to flow through my veins
for you are my ultimate addiction 
and all-time high
