Excuse My Addiction
Because in the nook of your chest lies my desire
Buried somewhere between your ribs are my dreams
But yet your setting my heart on fire
I’m bursting at the seams
It tears me to pieces to see you
My reality you’ve crushed with tact
I’ve reached out to create something new
Yet my delusions are always holding me back
Your the tree in the backyard of my heart
Your the wallflower in the closet of my attic
The taste of my bitterness is tart
For you love, I’m an addict
