The Herion

I'm an addict, you're my drug,

Craving all your thrills,

I'm this waster, save your time,

Give to me my pills.

Can't get over you no more

Your face, your smell, your voice.

Course my veins and send me high,

Or show me I've a choice.

Every moment it's just us,

Stoned as hell, you're dope.

Come and stay for one more fix.

Without it I can't cope.

Tell me I'll be high for good,

Or gently let me fall.

Don't make me try to sober up,

Still back to you I'll crawl.

Risking a friendship

When I'm standing at the edge of what I knew,

I'm falling in the wake of my confusion.

Just darkness and abyss of empty blue

And still I don't know what to say or do.

Awed and blinded by infatuation.

I call your name in silent desperation.

I still can't give you any indication,

How life is brighter just because of you.

You dominate my every thought,

You're everything I've ever sought,

Your crudely perfect imperfection

Simply captures my affection,

Overrules my insurrection.

Still no sign or clear direction,

What I'm supposed to do.

In my heart I've no protection,

From your charm, your love infection.

Don't deny there's some connection,

Between me and you.

I know the risk and consequence.

The cataclysmic end.

I know it from experience.

But I know hearts can mend.

To be loved and to reciprocate.

It justifies the risk to take,

It empowers the love to make,

I ask that you just contemplate,

What I mean to you.
