You are like heroin
Strongly addictive
But harmful too
Intoxicating my soul
When I am with you
I am on a high
But when we are apart
My body aches for you
However when you went away
I went cold turkey
A good thing for me,
As I became free
Because when you are gone
The chains binding us break
I feel able to breathe
And the air is clean
But you always come back
And try to get under my skin
Like an unwelcome itch
Which will not go away
When you are not around
I feel so free
And able to be me
Without needing a fix
