Burnout for Romance

Love is like a drug
addictive and misleading
bringing you temporary happiness
but harmful to your being

Love engrosses and consumes you
blinding you from truth
ties you up and bounds you
wasting many a youth.

Sinking deeply below your skin
lingering inside
playing with your thoughts
no rules does love abide

You become infatuated
a burnout for romance
brainwashed with your habits
leaving you in trance

Love is like a drug
it leaves you oh so lost
and like a drug it's hard to kick
then pay a painful cost
