feed me (this addiction)
a tug at the hair
a pretty room
with a putrid aroma
clean teeth
with a yellow stain
comfortable shoes
covered in dirt
a beautiful sweater
with itchy wool
much like those beautiful eyes
there is something always to ruin something so heavenly
those eyes that seem to break me down, every single time.
like a nicotine patch
to constantly feed me addictive qualities
iv's in my veins
pumping my with indecipherable sentiment
unintelligable warmth
every single time you put your hand on my shoulder
my eyes slowly close
and i feel the floor ascend to my knees
as they indepentently buckle and descend.
and in a farmiliar haze of emotion
and your all too recognizable scent
and in the moment my eyes open again
i am back to my stable feet
giggling as if all is swell
as if my heart is not trembling
beneath my goosebump ridden
icy cold skin
tension cursed existence
sweaty palms
and a thought in the back of my mind
about how much i want to tell you
i know how much you love the snow
and how it reminds me of you
pale, and delicate
but full of fun, and stories.
and one day
whether i'm ready or not
whether you're ready or not
i'm going to tell
and like rain
we'll fall
in
or out of love
regardless
i know i will hit rock bottom because that is always what you do to me
if you've every laid sick in a hospital bed
iv's in your veins
you will know
the things that are supposed to make you feel so strong
can make you feel so weak
and the things that keep you stationary
will make you want to try harder than you every have
and you, my lover
my dear
my crystal
my snowflake
have never motivated me so much
while making me feel so weak
so as i set myself up for disaster
i beg of you
feed me
like a nicotine patch
feed me this addiction
