Addicted

You brought light into the darkness that was me

Like the sun, you gave me warmth

Like a breeze, you kept me cool

Like rain nourishing a dry desert so your love nourished my starved soul

You were me and I was you

We were one in the bodies of two

You became my knight in shining armour

You rescued my existence with every touch

I lose control at the mere thought that you are mine

You are my oxygen, my breath

You are in my blood, under my skin

You imprisoned my heart, you the keeper of the key

I am addicted and you are the drug that keeps me from dying

You are a sweet poison, eroding my resistance

You are the alcohol that leaves me dizzy

And the medicine that numbs all my pain
