Addicted

How can you say you care,
when you don't share my pain?
How can I be sure,
your words of supposed sincerity arent' said in vain?
What we have is an infatuation,
an addiction as though it seems.
But the Cupid I pray for at night,
is no longer in my dreams.
You're slowing invading my sanity,
you're an unwanted intruder of my thoughts.
For so long you've admired me from afar,
so afraid of being caught.
From curiosity,
to addiction.
From possession,
to protection.
My guard is falling,
slowly but surely.
As my last ray of hope,
goes from an ember to a shimmer.
I realized you are one,
I'll have no choice but to remember.
As I lay alone at night,
Twisting and turning,
twisting and turning,
heart threatening to beat out of my being.
This "thing" that we have,
takes on a new meaning.
What we have is a habit,
and I'll admit, I can't kick it.
You leave me wanting more,
Love, I am addicted.
