overtaking temptation

you make me a complete mess

manage my body
soul and mind
take control over
my every move and breath
and always see me for what I am

the queasy feeling in my stomach
the pounding in my head
the only thoughts in my mind
are consuming me instead-

the overtaking temptation to love you

my forehead covered in cold sweats
my body shakes beyond control
the endless aching in my bones
as you take and drain my very soul

you never let me sleep
can not put my mind at ease
trapped in a repetitive cycle
of wants and needs
it is slowly unraveling inside of me
there are many things within
an entrapment of feelings
and the purpose to be complete

the urge is overwhelming
devastatingly daunting
I feel I can no longer resist
this temptation
I feel I can no longer wait
for salvation

letting go does not seem
to be an option
therefore I sit painfully
letting it all devour me

saturating in this sunlight
a vibrant relief for the fatigue
that overdose brings
you may be getting clean
but I never will

all I want is your pleasure,
but hunting for you is pain

and yes
I may be obsessed
I may distort reality
but my racing heartbeat
the release of euphoria
dopamine and oxytocin
adrenaline and vasopressin
show me how the drug in me is you
