Relapse

Like a drug you run through my veins

And no matter how many times I take my twelve steps

I always relapse.

One word, one look, one hug

Come with the power to lift me up to the highest clouds

and to the deepest abyss have the power to drag

Though every time I soar, I fall

I never learn

and misstep on the same path again and again

But love is not a mistake

and regrets have no place

so I’m left with a cycle of comings and goings,

of questions unanswered, of truths and lies.

A man should never have such power over another,

Yet I am letting you,

Damn, I’m inviting you to,

And all I need when the withdrawal fever’s shaking me

is just another dose of the drug

of you.
