Darling...

Darling I'm torn
you kept me so warm
with you I never was bored,
at first you protected me
then you infected me
you were a double-edged sword.

Both good times
and bad times
you stuck with me through them,
the heart aches
and cold shakes
I never outgrew them.

As years passed me by
I watched myself die
and begged you never to leave,
I would savor your touch
then you'd leave in a rush
with tracks up and down my sleeve.

I'd never delay you
or ever betray you
on call if you ever should need me,
I was always right there
but you never cared
that's not how my darling should treat me.

I guess in the end
you were not a real friend;
a demon disguised as a lover,
you kept on taking
as I kept on shaking
now you're gone and there'll be no other.
