My addiction
Akinwale David Akinkunmi 1995 (Benue)
Leah, my addiction, my heart's true vice,
I cannot escape your alluring eyes.
For in your gaze I find my sweet escape,
And all of life's problems start to fade.
Your beauty is a drug that I cannot resist,
And in your embrace I find the sweetest bliss.
For in your touch I find my heart's desire,
And all of life's worries start to retire.
Leah, my addiction, you hold me tight,
And fill my soul with pure delight.
For in your love I find my truth,
And all of life's struggles start to soothe.
But alast, like all addictions,
you're not without harm,
And in your absence, my heart sounds the alarm.
For without you, my life seems incomplete,
And my heart aches for the love we can't repeat.
Leah, my addiction, you are my heart and soul,
And with you, I feel truly whole.
For in your love I find my peace, And all of life's problems start to cease.
So let me be addicted to your sweet embrace, And let me love you with all my grace. For in your love, I find my home, And my heart is no longer alone
