Some people have addictions

Things they can't refuse

They try to stop the habit

Yet they always seem to lose

I'm trying really hard

To make this not be true

Not drinks or drugs or food

I'm addicted to you.

You kill me with your words

That keep me wide awake

But then I see your smile;

the icing on my cake

You trap me under water

And just before I drown

You put me in your arms

And pick me off the ground

You're overcome with guilt

To have made me feel this way

You beg and plead and promise

And I agree to stay

Then I see a flash

I watch your eyes turn black

You look into my soul

Beginning your attack

Tearing me down quickly

You strip me piece by piece

Of my soul and heart and sanity

Until I'm down onto my knees

Pleading for some mercy

I kick and scream and cry

But you know as well as I do

I have nowhere to hide

I end up like an addict

Lying on the floor

But again like every other

I just come back for more

I remember when we met

I was happy free and pure

Now Im dying slowly

A death that has no cure
