addiction
my bittersweet addiction
the fire that burns my blood
ignited by sparks when I feel your touch
traveling like a wild sea
dragging me deeper into your depths
until I’m falling and lost in you without regret
needing the contact of your skin on mine
your breath planting seeds of lust against my neck
growing trees with roots connected to my core
filling and strengthening our connection I can’t break
no cure exists to drain your poison from my blood
you’re my sin I’ll protect forevermore
you’re the drug I’ll use until I die
you may be my cause of death, but also the reason I felt alive
