You're my Addiction

i kept in the shadows and lurked...
for the longest moment in time;
so afraid that, at last, i had lost
the true reason for all of my rhyme
then somehow you found me drifting out here
on the ledge of the darkest abyss
and you pulled me back from the edge of my fear
with just the mere hope of your kiss...
you're my addiction
And I just need to say
thank you for helping me breathe once again
For letting me know
your sweet breeze on my skin...
and for taking me in... from the cold
You don't have clue just how deep;
just how far you are... down within...
the true core of my soul
you're my addiction
the fact that erases
all the bad fiction
the thing that embraces
my one predilection
i think that by now... you finally know
you're the one thing that i... never want to let go...
the burn... for which i will constantly yearn...
the heat of the sun; that scorching affliction
my one place to run; my heart-pounding friction
i feel you; i taste you; i want you to know...
you are...
my addiction (and I'll never let you go)...
you're my addiction.
I think when things go South, we tend to hope an angel will come along and rescue us, hold out a hand and console us...making their presence in our lives of paramount importance, so much so that what we thought of as a moment of saving grace can easily become an intense addiction...a consuming or even one sided love. Could this be of song quality too? Me thinks it could...love the tang of "you're my addiction".
Awesome stuff, Jeff.
Love,
Taylor
