Your Love Ever So Inviting

your love opens to me
like a mother to embrace her infant son
and yet i can't partake in this high
that keeps me going

i have sobered through my addiction to you
i shook in my bed, convulsing, tears streaming down my face
near the point of death only to be brought lower than before
your love has never faultered
wavered
or denied me in any way
and yet i find
that it is hard to accept that i can't live without you
