VI. dopamine

2 0 0
                                    

i want you, i need you, i crave you
my new favorite drug
i'll abuse you till my teeth begin to rot

oh how wonderful!
I've found a new forbidden fruit
god save me from the temptation in this garden filled with desires,

someone call the doctor i think i overdosed
my mind filled with you,
and no one else but you my love

it's harmful yet i no longer care
high on dopamine and endorphins
if you were antidepressants i'd swallow all of the pills at once
entering my realm of euphoria

if this all turns out to be a dream
please don't wake me up
at the end of the day,

I just want to be with you.
