Higher

 

I'm addicted,
Not to you or your potential
Not to the social or moral conduct

I'm addicted to the ache
The longing of something lost
I want to feel the loss and that's scares me

Sorry but I'm an addict
To the pain, the torture, the constant need
My empty chest is yearning

And those lines?
Those act like the guard rail
Because if I let go, if I let myself ache
I'll get you hooked to the high too

We exercise control not because we fear the unknown
But rather because once we unleash it
There's no telling what she will do

Don't let me lose my high
Because we can't handle my higher self
