Crutch

You've been around since I can remember
Far longer than I care to know
Always ready to light me up
In your toxic glow
An old wound that I can't stop licking
I can't seem to leave you alone
Like a scab that I can't stop picking
I can't let let you go

You once were the spark that gave me life
Now I wish that I'd just left you alone
You once were the fire that set me alight
But now you're just a crutch
And I can't let go

All my greatest regrets
You're always somewhere in the frame
You take more than you give back
And I feel ashamed
