Addict

by c-e-smith

They found me curled up in your old Tshirt Old notes ripped and crumpled from a strong grip And trembling from the withdraw I thought I knew nothing of addiction Until I tried 24 hours without -- Without craving you in some way. The sound of your name is like A sip of alcohol to an AA member Your cologne is a shot of heroin: Exciting and gone before you know it Your eyes are like a sniff of coke Making my whole body shiver Your touch is like sitting in a haze Relaxing, familiar, amnesic… I wish everything you did could go away, So when I take a draw tonight, The smoke won't have anything to cover.

I don't understand why I miss you so much, when I know you're no good for me
