I am plagued with an unfortunate vice
It is worse than the alcoholic's dependency
Or the drug addict's fix
It's you
Those eyes stopped the steady rhythm that was my heartbeat
Those lips caught my attention with painful force
But most of all
Your words
Dark like the liquid in Romeo's cup
Poisonous yet alluring
So I bring that cold chalice to my lips
And smile my last smile
Still praying I'll see you on the other side
