My Love Drug

I feel schizophrenic.  I’m all over the place.  One minute I’m super annoyed with you and the next minute I can’t get enough of you. 

 

You are my drug.  I drink you in.  Even when you are annoying and bad for me, I want more of you.  I can’t get enough of you.  I’m addicted to you, to how you make me feel.  When I take you all in, I get high�"highly in love with you. 

 

But I’m afraid to overdose for fear of being dependent on you.  I can’t let you take over my whole body, my whole being.  I must only take you in moderation so to not totally give myself over to you.

 

So as soon as I feel myself slipping into dependence, I pull back.  I try to wing myself off of you.  Try to handle things by myself. Try to find love, satisfaction, joy from myself.  I withdraw from you, which pushes me into�"withdraw.  The absence of you makes me low�"lowering my desire to love. 

 

I become mean, angry, bitter�"my heart closes and hardena to keep out the vulnerability, to keep out the dependency.  But being in this state is lonely…and miserable. 

 

So I begin to open up my heart again.  And on and on it goes.  I’m high then low, up then down, afraid then lonely.    

 

I don’t know how to even out my temperament.  I don’t know how to live a balanced life in a state of calm.  It’s like I get a rush from the randomness.  I enjoy the adventure.  I depend on the drama….

 

Maybe that’s my bigger drug�"drama.  Maybe I need it to thrive, need it to function.  Maybe I need drama to make my life a bit less mundane.  Sometimes relationships just go through the moments, maybe I create drama and seem all over the place because I crave the noise, crave the obstacles. 

 

My relationship is up then down, up then down�"is it my fault?...

As with "Security" this has the same dimension...
the usage of the words and the placement of them...
gets you into this verse...
I guess in the end of this is a ? mark...
time will tell when you're ready to give in...
and not feel in limbo...

This is a great story, a good message behind these words. Never depend on anyone without being able to stand on your on too.
