Addicted To Love

You are my ciggarette,
I am your lighter:
You intoxicate me,
But I start the fire.
Your freckles are chocolate,
I want to lick them:
Let me love you,
My husband, my man.

To Find Myself Without Love

I smiled and let you in;

You tripped on my wires.

Explosions made you run to me closer,

Unaware I felt the tremors of every footstep that neared me,

So I sank, as you held on tightly.

 

My body survives, but my mind stays with the current,

Returning me to you once again;
Iā€™m a slave to hungry love.

Following the path to where you wait for me, always,

Forgiveness comes easy;
When I found myself, you seemed so far away.

 

Pulling misguided arrows from my chest,

Leaving you behind as I cast my boat off to sunrise,

Rowing down to where the river meets the sky,

Gathering my wings;

Flying solo.

 

The sky offers no freedom,

Only tiredness and lonesome,

Clarity of thoughts beat needles into sanity.

Crashing into whirlpools, escaping into waterfalls,

Chasing thirst in the deserts of your land.

Giving up what is loved because together there can be no progress, just the same cycle on repeat
