Junkie

I should have ran while I still could,
Should have stopped and turned away from where you stood.
But your light burned,
And I got hooked on you like a drug.

When people like me ask for advice,
They only get a shrug.
So I sat and let you roll the dice.
Like a junkie, I craved you,
Though of you, and believed in you.
Like a junkie, I knew you were bad.
When they tried to take you away,
I got very, very mad.
That's when I knew I couldn't fall prey,
Not to you, or anyone else.
I am longer a junkie,
No longer craving for your touch,
No longer craving for you.
