Drug of choice

She'd wake me 

In the morning 

To remind me I was alive 

She'd disappear 

Beneath cotton 

So many threads 

I'd forgotten to count 

The softness of her hands 

In rhythm between breaths

Keeping time 

L ove

S educes

D eath

I could've died then 

And there 

She always made me weak 

Too weak to pretend 

We were someone else

Too weak to dare to dream 

Outside my own reality 

An addict to her lips

Her voice 

You never understand your drug 

Fully 

Yet it knows you from the inside out
