This Love is a drug
This love consumes my soul
Fills my mind with delusions
Casts shade over broken memories
Hides the part of me that longs to be
whole
This love snakes its way into my life
Eyes my wounded heart
And seduces me with the promise of healing,
If I just let it in.
I didn't want to let it in
I searched inside myself for my own healing light,
But I found darkness.
Just a void where my light was snuffed out.
I had already lost what I had been trying to hold on to,
What more could I lose?
So I breathed it in, this love.
Sat on the ground as a warmth washed over me
And filled my world with smoke
My heart, my memories, my pain
buried beneath this living cloud.
I am finally healed
I'm a new person
I can do anything
Until this love runs out and the smoke fades with it
My heart, my memories, my pain,
no longer hidden by the clouds.
I was never healed.
I was only distracted from my wounds by empty bliss
This love is toxic
It poisons your spirit,
But it keeps you coming back for another taste of the illusion
This love doesn't love you,
But through thick and thin it will keep you
This love is a drug.
