you were the addiction
& i just needed a hit
i know you’re bad for me
but i just wanted one last high
i wanted to overdose on you
so i didn’t have to live without you
but i can’t afford you, i have nothing left to give
i sold my dignity for my last tastes of you

but then, i met an angel
he kissed me gently & loves me deeply
i met an angel
he knows i was addicted to you but loves me anyway
he wraps his wings around me & allows me to just be
& i’m in rehab now
forgetting about you & moving on
i never thought i’d be here
& some days, just like any other addict
i remember the high & i crave you
dreaming about one last fix to get me through the night
but you couldn’t save me, you only
numbed me
you were my addiction
& addictions are difficult to break
but that doesn’t mean, that i am* *broken
[maybe because a part of me still wants revenge]
