My Addiction

This monster that has me in his grasp
Devouring my very existence as the moments slip by soundlessly
I am lost in the essence of this monster's eyes
The color of my pain looking back at me from the depths
My addiction runs deep in those eyes
The pulsing heart of it is what keeps mine going
Every light that shined before is gone
Lost in the depths of those eyes
The eyes that penetrate me with no effort whatsoever
Curling myself next to my monster
Trying to get closer, never getting close enough

And when I was ripped away, my addiction
Still running so strong through my veins
Any light that was left swallowed by the vacuum that was my entire world
The sweet feeling of being complete now stagnant about me
Only a sour remnant of what once was
Tears at my soul in a way that no one can comprehend
As the drug just stands to watch
He stands to watch, just out of reach
Never giving me what I need
