Living Like This

Living like this takes talent
Living with this addiction takes guts
That's me
I'm there, living on the razor's edge
Bending to the whim of the blade
Lusting for his kiss
Longing for my rock
Living like this keeps me grounded
Living like this is not for the weak hearted
He becomes your best friend
He takes you like a piece of wet clay
Designing you to not live
He makes you into a walking cutting board
Living like this starts with a push and a choice
Not living like this is worse
You become engorged with pain
Not able to let go
He won't let go
He is you
You turn into him
Living this life is hard
Leaving this life is unbearable
