Priceless drug

You're the drug I need to take
To keep myself afloat
The only one who starts and stops
Tears sticking in my throat
You're my narcotic heroin,
Obsession, hunger, need
Only you and your brown eyes
Can satisfy my greed
My only light in darkness
My fever's only cure
The key to my addiction
Precious, Priceless, Pure
