Withdrawl

There's something about you
something you do
that makes me unable
to withdraw from you.

You love me so much
I just can't get enough
of your taste and touch
it burns my heart up.

But if you play me
I can let go
you could stop by
but I won't be home.

You can treat me well
or lash at me with words
bruise me with evil tongues
or run your fingers through my curls.

Whichever way you treat me
I'll know what to do,
my body and mind can be used
to synthesize and manipulate you.

There's something about you
something you do
that makes me unable
to withdraw from you.

Your personality is like a cigarette
sometimes it burns through me, other times
it brings pleasure to all and yet
it worries me, giving me deep facial lines.

My thinking is contradictory
can I survive without you
I believe I'm unboundedly strong
and yet when you're gone crying is all I do.

I need you here with me
just somebody to be with
I want you near me
just somebody to be around.

But you're not just "somebody" to me
you are my husband, my love is too true
I can't help but be weak when I look upon you
I will always love you, no matter what you do.

There's something about you
something you do
that makes me unable
to withdraw from you.
