Addicted to Nicotine
Shelter me closely
to shield the fear,
that bleeds in my veins
and lives in me, in here.
Keep me quiet
so that I will not scream,
and save me from myself,
when I’m addicted to nicotine.
Hug my hand, hold my heart,
let me be part of you.
Until the darkness is gone
and the confusion is through.
Bless me with your presence
and encourage me to dream.
Don’t leave me alone
when I’m addicted to nicotine.
Tell me sometimes that you care,
even if you don’t.
The difference doesn’t matter,
and it won’t.
Just shelter me closely,
from what is, what could have been,
and keep me safely
when I’m addicted to nicotine.
