I Rather Hurt

I am Icarus and you are the sun 
I keep flying closer and closer
not thinking of what will come 
A moth to a flame 
I burst into ash 
I savor the bitter-sweet taste
because I know it won't last 
You're like cutting
'cause I rather hurt than feel nothing
You're my poison,
 it tastes so sweet, but its all consuming
You're my Meth 
a 10 second high, with a life time of hurting 
Like a wave you pull me under I don't fight it 
I just hold my breath hoping it'll last
'Till my lungs burst and I welcome death
