Toxic Addiction

Sweetly gazing upon your soft, dilapidated smile,
The single object of affection I was awarded every once-in-a-while.
They quote my complaints and use them against me
But I don't care, in all that fear, you still needed me.

I hated to feel your wrath when your decision
Was somehow unrelated, always met with a pre-warned collision.
Yet in the end you did gain all the knowledge you still need
And continuously find a way to reach inside of me.

I have never understood the meaning of your goodbye.
It always stung like a bee, it still lingers as a lie.
Yet here we are, as toxically attracted as two beaten lovers may be
And as I look at you with caution, I feel the same gaze fall upon me.

Together, is a three syllable word we are so desperately afraid of
It is matched in concurrence with the same fear we provide "love."
Still in your unsure, passive, deep brown eyes.
We are both completely sure that "goodbye" held all the lies.

Yet let me beseech one final request of the man I will always love
You had given me a home, a heart, all I could ever ask of.
As though we have been in love through all that painful affliction,
Please just rid me of my soul-threatening toxic addiction.
