Like an Addict

Like an addict

you're my drug

I know you are no good

but I need you in my blood

pumping to my heart

so, I inject you deep into my arm

A rush of love, followed by a crashing low

I should run but this addiction has me by the throat

the dealer keeps me sweet

by giving little treats

but then knocks on my door

to push me down

scrambling on the floor begging for more

You are the high that I feel

a psychedelic daydream in a world of shadows

yet you go for my heart with a blade made of steel

ready to make me beg at the crossroads

do I do a deal with the devil?

or do I walk my path free?

but with no love so special

You are my pills; thrills you make me soar when I feel grounded

But you keep me down, out and dumbfounded

it's a rollercoaster of emotion

this love explosion

and my heart is full of shrapnel

bomb damage from prior battles

Like an addict, you are my drug

but not one that is good

can I beat the cravings?

cold turkey, feels so bland

When the love you gave was so embracing

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
