I'm on that drug

a second time.

One more time, I tell myself

one more time

I swear I'm done. 

I'm hooked

But I can quit.

I can. 

Everytime I think I'm free,

Your gaze pulls me back.

I'm trapped 

by that look

That craving

yearning look.

i'm addicted 

Almost as if I'm starving myslef 

Just to depend 

on you.
