Sweet Addiction

Once lost

Buried in the bowels of darkness

A candle lit in a window

Gleaming hope of desire

Writhing

Climbing

Fighting

Our way to the light

A beacon inside so beautiful

A lighthouse

Always shining

Always guiding

To our safe harbor

Pain and hurt peeling away

Layer by layer

Day by day

You’ve become my sweet addiction

I crave you

I’m a junkie baby and you’re my drug

My addiction

The needle to my vein

Bury your love needle deep inside me

As deep as it will go

My sweet elixir

I need you

Pulsating through my veins

Giving life

Making me free

You are the lost and forgotten words

The forgotten words

I’ve been searching for

The love

I didn’t think I deserved

The love

I dreamt about

Our path

Our journey

Unfolding in front of us

Day by day

You are the song moving inside me

The song I want to sing

My sweet addiction

You...you...you...

My drug

My addiction

My ceaseless urge - my fix

The needle

Under my skin

The cold chill of desire

The pill

In my mouth

The shot of sweet intoxication

The opiate

In my lungs to erase the hurt

A momentary suspension of existence

Our bed an oasis

Floating away

Hibernating with you

Held in each others arms in a smoke induced otherness

Incense filling my nostrils and you my senses

Between sheets soaked in desire

Mutilated with passion

Love stained heart

Track marks on our souls

The darkness envelops us – you my only light

My passage to life - my release - my high - my trembling compulsion

Only breath

A faint heart beat

Only...only...only

The night between us

The candles flicker

And moonlight casts shadows
On our naked tangled bodies
