Addiction

13 Oct Addiction

Just to breathe him in

His one touch she desires
His two lips on her skin
She craves him to hold her
Just to breathe him in

His absence is painful
She aches for his voice
This man she’s in love with
Her only drug of choice

No hope for this addict
Who waits for her fix
No fix for this addict
Who waits for his kiss
She holds tightly her pillow
As she silently weeps
Sleep holds onto her
As she drifts into sleep

He’s blind to her addiction
He knows nothing at all
So she secretly suffers
An addict’s withdrawal

She needs him to function
Her mind cannot rest
He flows through her veins
As he beats in her chest

No hope for this addict
Who waits for her fix
No fix for this addict
Who waits for his kiss
She holds tightly her pillow
As she silently weeps
Sleep holds onto her
As she drifts into sleep
