Fatal Addiction

You're my drug,
You're my marijuana,
You're my ganja,
You're my addiction.

I need you to fill me,
For when I don't have you, I crumble,
My systems fail,
My body weakens,
It goes into a shock,
Shock due to the absence of the one substance that enables it to function wholly.

You're in every part of me,
Your're everywhere in me,
In my mind,
In the blood that flows through me,
In my hands,
My legs,
Especially in my heart.

You're my painkiller,
You're my tranquilizer,
You're my paracetamol.

You relieve my pain,
You take the hurt away,
You make me feel light-headed,
You make me fly,
Flying to the moon.

I need you everyday
You have become part of me,
For when I can't have you,
I am none.
For when I do have you,
My world is complete,
I can once again fly,
I can jump off a ten-storey building and still be alive,
I can sing and dance in the rain and not be afraid of thunder,
I am me.

You are bad for me,
I know you will make me sick,
You are my slow death,
But I need to have you,
I need you like I need the air I breathe,
I need you,
Because you're my drug,
My marijuana,
My ganja,
My addiction,
My unrequited, forbidden love,
You're always within my grasp but I can never really have you.

I allow you to break me,
You're the reason I am in and out of "rehab",
You are my elixir,
You are my poison,
You cure the hurt you cause me.

Because you're my drug,
My marijuana,
My ganja,
My addiction,
My unrequited, forbidden love.
