Your name tases of sickly sweet poison

As it oozes off my tongue

And burns like vodka

As I choke it down in a strangled swallow.

I breathe your words in like vapor

While my words get lost in the exhale

I'm rendered speechless

By your intoxicating sweetness.

My love for you buzzes my body

Iike nicotine of a burning cigarette

I can't get enough of you baby

I'm addicted for life.

My memories of you

Burn holes into my brain like acid

Leaving traces of you

Tattooed on my body forever.

With this painful withdrawal

I'm left scavenging for pieces of my sanity

That have been sucked into the void

Of my empty soul.
