They Say Love Is A Drug
They say love is a drug
I wanted to feel love pumping through my blood
So I took the rubber band
Wrapped it around my arm tight until body went numb
And I held the needle there and I wanted for you to push down so I could feel some
But you never did
I still don’t understand how I became addicted to something you never give
I guess I’ve slipped
From your hands to your feet
Crawling to kiss them as you back away from me
They say I should howl up at the moon but why admire one when I could see two, just as bright, every time I look at you
I crave love and hunger more than lust
You are everything that I need, and for you, I’ll do everything that I must
Even with the heartache of knowing that my eyes may be big and my ears even bigger
But from you I could not see nor hear a piece of gratitude, not even a sliver
And yet still!
My heart rumbles for a touch for a taste
I know your granddaughter is coming and for you I made sure that she’s safe
What was her name?
Ah yes, little red
Oh! Red
How beautifully poetic it is to have pain and love revel in the same devilish shade
I don’t think you could truly understand the depths that this color brings
Unless it swallows you whole
Unless it consumes your body like this unrequited love has consumed my soul
