Addict

Make me want you every day

Nothing but you

Who am I?

Wake up alone

And I claw at my skin

Covered in traces of you

And who am I?

Addict.

I am nothing without you

The world closes up

Without you dripping in my veins

Crave each touch

You have me begging on my knees

“I’ll let the bad parts in.”

Addict.

Hazy vision

I’ve lost my way

I stumble into walls

With your voice dancing in my head

And I fall down

down

down

Into the abyss.

Craving your touch

Makes everything else lack meaning

Is this a way to live?

Addict.

This love is all-consuming,

Leaves me raw and screaming.

Pushed down and drowning

Can’t come up for air--

Is this love?

I crave you and you fill me up

You pour yourself in me

And I claw my way along

To take yet another hit of you.

Addict.

The sun’s been gone for days

Or weeks, or years;

I can’t tell when I’m living in a world

Revolving around you.

The fog settles all around

The haze has filled my mind

There is one last question

That I grasp to, desperately:

Where did I go?

Addict.
