i cannot quit you like a cigarette
i just cannot put you down
i get withdrawals every time
i remember what once was mine
i remember your glossy eyes
but i must save you
i will only destroy your lungs
waste your years
corrupt your tongue
i am worth no time
i am but an addict
i need rehabilitation
i'm so erratic
you were a safe haven
too safe that i made you my cave
i am cold and wet from the rain now
i'm shivering right where you laid
why are my cheeks so stained
my eyes are swollen
putting your polaroids in the spare room
where your lips were stolen
i cannot quit you
you're stronger than nicotine
you have filled my lungs so that i cannot breathe
i suffer withdrawals
every time
i remember what was ours
what was once mine
