i was thirsty and you offered my satisfaction, so i drank
i drank savagely without breath, until i couldn't feel my heart beat
and when i was on the brink of death, i had a decision to make
to live without you or die soaked in your love from my head to my feet?
as these questions rose up from the void of where light kisses the dark
i clenched my cup selfishly, unwilling to let my addiction fade
for in my heart, there is no life worth living without the warmth of your love
and yet in my brain--i know, i'll never be warm enough with the words you say
to fathom the possibility of happiness beyond your embrace frightens me
am i brave enough to wander beyond and take the chances i never have before?
or will i let your safety keep me here, despite all the pain surrounding me?
i do not know yet, but the time is fastly approaching and then there will be no more
as the last drop of your satisfaction becomes just a mere memory
i let go of your cup and with tears in my eyes--i struggle to take my first breath
