Addiction
By
Berry Michel
Drawn to your presence, lost in your absence.
Sensing your closeness, nearing your sense.
Living without you proving so difficult.
Worship or addiction, I follow your cult.
The more I try, the more I fall, hopeless.
Trying to concentrate here and now, focus.
Let me down easy or let me go forever.
I don’t want to leave, so let me go never.
Breaking our coexistence, maybe for the best.
Breaking my dependency but failing the test.
You feed this addiction, I know well, say less.
Moving forward, I keep falling back, a mess.
I say I want to go, but my actions contradict.
Why not just let me go? You making me sick.
We in a bad marriage and I want the divorce.
You say we meant to be and we staying course.
Confusion and nonsense take a toll on my brain.
Releasing that dopamine, but still causing me pain.
Can’t get out of your web, caught up, restriction.
Stuck on stupid, but feeling so good, addiction.
Cleaning up my act, but you still leaving a stain.
Sunshine for the moment, til you bringing the rain.
May never leave you alone, that’s true, prediction.
Stuck on stupid, but feeling so good, addiction.
Drowning in my feelings, swimming in emotion.
Magic in the moment, too much love in this potion.
Said I could walk away easy if I get the notion.
Said that years ago, standing in place, no motion.
Still on my mind, every day, every night, twenty-four.
Just had me a fix, so high, still want me some more.
I take you forever, for better or worse, for rich or for poor.
I was almost done but couldn’t walk through the door.
Making me weak when I thought I was strong.
I even left for a minute but wasn’t gone long.
Giving me life, killing me softly, singing your song.
If loving you isn’t right, I want to be wrong.
Some call me an addict. Some call me a fool.
Just searching for happiness, you are my tool.
Feeling the heat, caliente, but need to stay cool.
Too hot to handle, fuego, might jump in a pool.
Confusion and nonsense take a toll on my brain.
Releasing that dopamine, but still causing me pain.
Can’t get out of your web, caught up, restriction.
Stuck on stupid, but feeling so good, addiction.
Cleaning up my act, but you still leaving a stain.
Sunshine for the moment, til you bringing the rain.
May never leave you alone, that’s true, prediction.
Stuck on stupid, but feeling so good, addiction.
Holding you close, while pushing me away.
I live for tomorrow but need you today.
Caught up in the rapture but still finding my way.
Begging you to go but wanting you to stay.
The good, the bad, the ugly, all part of my lie.
You take me so low but then take me so high.
A slave to your touch, no escape, so why try.
So high from this love, I thought I could fly.
Bursting with energy, I just might explode.
Can’t wait for your presence to lighten my load.
This feeling is fleeting but still worth the wait.
Me kicking this habit, I’ll try, but too late.
A glutton for punishment, I keep coming back.
Cover my weaknesses, the strength that I lack.
Drawn to your light, pitch black, keeping me blind.
All I need, a way out, the exit I couldn’t find.
Confusion and nonsense take a toll on my brain.
Releasing that dopamine, but still causing me pain.
Can’t get out of your web, caught up, restriction.
Stuck on stupid, but feeling so good, addiction.
Cleaning up my act, but you still leaving a stain.
Sunshine for the moment, til you bringing the rain.
May never leave you alone, that’s true, prediction.
Stuck on stupid, but feeling so good, addiction.
