"Love is the only drug you can take that will convince you each time that you've never had it before."

COUNTING

Is it bad that I'm counting the minutes

The hours, the days since the last?

Is it bad that I can still remember?

Thought this memory should've been past.

Every day without is a bonus,

Every day I should feel so good,

So why instead am I feeling down,

Not like I thought I should.

Depressing to think that I never,

Will break the link to my brain,

A tenuous hold, one I struggle against,

Over again and again.

So exhausted, is it worth it?

Too much effort, easier just to give in.

Is it worth all of this frustration,

If I say no, do I really win?

So I lock myself away from temptation,

Hide myself until the demon withdraws,

Perform my own personal exorcism,

Wait for reality to start once more.


What You Need

Don't you crave me?

You can't wait to taste me again,

My memory implanted in your brain,

You know I'm just what you need.

Don't you want me?

Say the word and I'll be with you

You know I'm always waiting for you,

Whenever you may have the need.

Don't you miss my sweet seduction?

That soft and misty lovely feeling?

Your body aches, your senses reeling.

Aren't I just the buzz you need?

Don't you desire me?

For me I know you would cheat and kill.

I know you'd die baby for my thrill,

Because I am the one you need.

Don't you know that I want you too?

So what's it with the hesitation?

You know you yearn for my sensation,

Come here and give into your need.

Don't wait and waste a second longer,

Without me in your life it's empty,

They give you stress, I give you plenty,

Of that sweet feeling that you need.

Now don't forget all we have been through,

You long for me, I need you,

So c'mon let me crawl inside you,

And take you to eternity.


Pacing My Cage

God I need it today,

If I could find it,

I know I couldn't say no,

Safer to stay at home.

Pacing my cage,

Back and forth,

Tight and ready to break.

Trying to think of something else.

Something to occupy my mind.

Something to soothe my body,

Something to heal my soul.

I wish I never met you.

I wish I had you now.

I need it so much I can't think.

Want to run away.

Leave them all behind.

Hit the road again.

Live a nowhere life.

Get me out of here.

Before I go insane.

Get me out of here.

Get this hunger from my brain.

I don't want to start again.


The Struggle

How can my heart do this to me?

It must have a mind of its own.

For l know that my brain,

That sensible, rationale, cautious part of me,

Is telling me of the stupidity,

The folly, the pain that will come,

If l follow my heart.

But what can l do?

In the struggle between heart and mind,

My heart will always win.

And although it has lost the battle,

I know that in days to come,

My mind will echo back at me,

"I told you so! I warned you!"

But l don't care.

I'll take what l can.

Let tomorrow take care of itself.

I'm only worrying about today.
