Addicted

I want to scream at the top of my lungs
And to cry until the streets flood
I just want to reach out and grab you by the wrist to stop you from leaving 
I want you to hold me tightly 

Forgetting the world 
Just the two of us in each others' arms
Is where I want to build a home
But you've long been gone from my reach

Leaving me numb
Selfishness calls 
But I know the love I have will never be reciprocated 
Unwritten 
Unrequited

Painfully trying to start over
Trying to give it my all
Yet you're haunting my everyday
It's hard to move on 
When I don't have anything to make me forget

You're constantly with me
From the moment I awake 
To the moment when darkness claims me 
I've fallen into a hole that seems infinite 
Slipping through the cracks painfully

With no air left to breathe
Suffocating 
And not being able to walk away from the memories
I'm in too deep
And I still wish you were in deep with me

But I know that I'm the only one who's still "addicted"
