Demon in my veins

Oh caffeine, caffeine -
exalted guanine degenerate,
won't you please release your hold on me?

Without you I am but a daytime walking zombie -
brain-dead, I am poor company,
paying attention to naught but
your absence from my body.

Yet with you,
my nights are passed sleeplessly -
where I am only relieved of you
in the spewing of badly rhyming poetry.

Caffeine, caffeine,
held in your stimulating thrall,
I am powerless with or without you.
