Body aches,
muscles pull.
Feeling empty,
never full.

Mind races,
thoughts fly.
Tears falling,
hearts soaring high.

Caught in a moment,
lost in time.
Addicted to it a feeling,
a temporary high.

You're on top of the world,
then lower than your feet.
Feel like a millionaire,
but lose everything in a heartbeat.

Up and Down,
round and round.
Never being able
to find solid ground.

Aching for freedom,
but a slave to the rush.
Screaming in anguish
at the power of your lust.

It's hard to break free
when the high is so sweet.
But be careful to find it
for you may lose your feet.
Some addictions are too sweet to let go of.
I had you for a moment
Looking in your eyes I knew I had to turn away
Or I'd get lost, not being able to escape
I had you for a moment
Feeling butterflies at the sight of your smile
And hearing your laugh, it made me feel whole
I had you for a moment
Kissing your lips and being held tight
Made me feel infinite, more than alive
I had you for a moment
I started chipping away at your walls
And you chipping at mine
I had you for a moment
I gave you parts of  me I can never take back
And times spent with you that made me feel more buoyant than with any other man
I had you for a moment
And going to sleep with you and waking up to you next to me
There are no words for how blissful I felt
I had you for a moment
And you said you wouldn't leave me
But you were gone at the first sign of trouble
I had you for a moment and in a moment you were gone
Now I feel like I'm drowning when I think about you
And the empty side of the bed is a reminder how I wasn't good enough
And seeing you makes me want to weep with the hurt and disappointment in my heart
You left me to my dismay
And for a moment I was happy
And in a moment *it was lost

— The End —
