Affection

You're affection is a high,
Unlike any I have felt.
So cherished is it's freedom,
How horrid it's release.

Don't go away,
Continue by my side.
As I chain you here,
So unfairly.

Must I let you go?

You're affection is the rain,
Of my long summer days.
Even though you must go away,
I love you all the more.
When I'm blessed by you.

I cannot keep you.
Like a bird you are not mine.
However, I invite you,
Come sing for me.

For a while, lift me up.
So when I fall,
It hurts.

But I love you all the more.

You came back.
And offered me warmth.

Affection is a drug,
I must say I'm addicted to it.
How far must I ascend,
For the next crash to be my end?
