Toxic
You are like a drug,
Using you for countless years,
Not remembering how or when I started.
First, I inject you into my bloodstream
And I have no control over what you do to me.
Then, you run through my veins,
Spreading your insatiable toxins.
Finally, once you have manifested my entire body,
You have the power.
Staying in my system for days at a time
And I have to keep replenishing my mind and soul
Which screams for your poison.
This bad habit seems to want to stay.
No matter how much I desire to kick this unhealthy abuse away.
You are my vice.
And no matter how lethal you are to my heart.
I doubt that I will ever be able to keep
Your alluring venom out of my system.
