St. Christopher

Shoot you up in my veins,
Suck you up like cocaine.
You never make me feel better,
Always the same.
Double shot is
what I got.
Felt you go down
dirty and hot.
Carried the weight across black and dead waters.
I tattooed your name on a tree.
A heart and arrow St. Christopher on it,
I held on to you desperately.
You said, "Why cant you see these things staring right at you"?
"Why cant you stay here with me"?
I said, "Boy you don't know what you're asking of me,
the girl with no identity".
So I'll sink like a stone,
and you'll carry the rest to the sea.
You're my favorite addiction,
my hardest conviction.
I've never fought something like this.
28 days wont settle my ways,
or the taste of your poisonous kiss.
I shake and I shiver
as we cross the river.
The night it hangs low on the sound.
But I know you aint' mine,
and I know that in time
you're gonna have to let me down.
So I'll sink like a stone,
and you'll carry the rest to the sea.
