Time has come

Some thing must give

Dependancy

Has become a curse

Permission to care

Like never before

Overwhelmed by emotion

Locked for so long

Now released

Becomes an addiction

A junkie desperate

For her fix

But one hit

No longer enough

After tiny taste

Of this drug

No pill to pop

No weed to smoke

Just love

And dreams

And care

And hope

No clinic for

Recovery

No detox

Or diet

To fight it with

Left alone

In withdrawl

The sweats

The nightmares

Are all the same

The helpless feeling

It went so wrong

And even though

It was grasped so tight

Cherished

Adored

Like none before

But now that

Guard has gone

Gates thrown open

For all to enter

To trample

To hide

taking pieces with them

Leaving holes behind

Shut the gates

Deflect the spell

Break the habit

It's all or nothing

Or else it just hurts
