Poisonous

When the darkness falls and all I can think of is your face and your voice,
What else can I feel then the longing for your touch and the need for your smile?
I've breathed you in and you've filled my lungs like thick smoke,
You've made it hard for me to breathe at just the thought of your name.
My fingers shake and my chest burns when I'm away from you,
These withdrawals are tearing me to pieces.
Triple X is carved into your chest as a warning to girls like me who may fall for your intoxicating being.
Is this a weakness I've shown for letting myself become addicted so easily,
Or is your poison that intoxicating to where you could have whoever you wanted?
You get me high from the way you say my name,
All I want is to overdose on you.
You are completely hypnotizing to the point where I find myself completely lost in your dark eyes.
I know if I keep falling like I am I'll regret every word I've said,
But I can't help but love your poison.
It seems so easy for you to pull me in,
To bend me with your words and motions.
I'd do anything you ask of me in the dark or in the light,
What will it take to drive me off the edge?
Thank god you don't know how much power you have over me,
But if you did would you tie me into knots?
Would you let me fall hard and let me plummet to my demise,
My being shattering into a trillion pieces I would never be able to collect?
You're like a siren singing from the depths of the black, angry ocean,
Calling me to drown without ever even getting close to you.
What am I supposed to say,
When you ask for my feelings towards you,
But I can't speak through the thick smoke?
What an I supposed to do when the thing I love most,
Is the thing that'll bring my demise?
