addiction vs. love


 

i crave the taste of you

hate the pain of you

love the touch of you

dislike the sin of you

wish i had more of you

can't stand the sight of you

need the beauty of you

hate that i can't breath without you

why so much temptation

your so sweet and kind

loving and caring

but yet bring so much destruction

i need to leave you

but can't seem to bring myself to

you're like a hopeless addiction

like a broken piece of glass

you can be so beautiful

but yet the slightest touch of you

can hurt me so much

i finally left

now have someone new

their so much better

i never knew what it was met to feel like to be loved

they bring me joy and happiness

not just pleasure

they make me feel good about me

i  always want to be around them

you brought me down and they bring me up

i suffered with you

now i know no pain

i hated the sight of you

but now i never want to leave their side

i don't feel like its sin

i feel like it's beauty

they have more than looks they have just the same beauty inside

they don't pretend to care

they really do

they make sure i come first over  them

it's not just a crave with them

it's a constant need

i thought i couldn't breathe without you

but i can't live without them

they help me stand on my own

while you made me need you

i never knew that it was meant to be like this

but now i'd do

no pain just love and pure affection.
