I am not sure how it really feels
To love someone with all your heart's got
I know what it's like to lose
The person you care about a lot

I have felt the bitter blade of lust
Rest softly against my collarbone
Witnessed blood run down my chest
You left me there alone

Gasping for air, victimized, sad
Trying desperately to gain back control
You swallowed the oxygen
Out of my very soul

Despite how hard I worked to breathe
Only strangled sighs bravely escaped
Changed the way I live my life
Sense of right and wrong you've shaped

You are a drug like ******
Injected into my veins
Attempt to still my addiction
This burning never wanes
