Withdrawal


I gave you the stale taste of my sin 
You took it in like heaven 
Almost made me believe 
You were my novocaine 
But no 
No, you were a lovers heroin 
A cigarette of betrayal 
And Aphrodite's pills 
Instead of a cool breeze 
You were a shrill blare of wind 
A hurricane of detriment 
a drizzle of commitment 
Your thunder prevailed over 
My faint voice 
When your lightening struck me
I thought it was bringing 
My bones to life 
Once again I was wrong 
I mistook my pounding heart 
For being love 
While you had really put me into cardiac arrest
