The One

When you are lost to them, they fight

Say all the things you long to hear and beg to hold you tight

Tell you they cannot live without the smell of your hair, your skin

Dream of you day and night, wearing you down for the win

Your guard is strong and your worth is high

A drug to them, something they will do anything to deny

Then slowly, you allow them the chance, you feed their addiction

But instead of it growing stronger, roots burying deeper

You start to realise, your barrier was your trophy and your love now your weakness

And you are losing them with every small and tender kiss

Do they grow bored? Or bored without a fight?

Did they truly love you or were you ultimately right?

That love is something of a game to some, small victories to none

A battlefield of emotions where to win, there will only be just one.
