Like a Drug
A Poem
Gentle hands, like fists of iron
Hold me in my place
Captive to my one desire
Blinding beauty wrapped in scarlet lace
A twisted world of lust and lies
Where wonders never cease
Memories burned forever in my mind
Of promises I never meant to keep
Her love is like a drug inside my veins
The way she pierces just before she numbs away the pain
Till there’s nothing left to win or lose. No honor to defend
Cause every time I break away, I come right back again
Oh you intoxicate me, babe
Like a drug inside my veins
I still remember long night drives
When we were just nineteen
You held my heart inside those yellow lines
Back when cash was tight, and love was king
Every now and then you come around
Dolled up like a dream
It always seems to be when I’m feeling down
I see that face, then I can hardly breathe
Your love is like a drug inside my veins
The way you pierce me just before you numb away the pain
Till there’s nothing left to win or lose. No honor to defend
Cause every time I break away, I come right back again
Oh you intoxicate me, babe
Like a drug inside my veins
