I'm an Addict

I am an addict.

Every day I think about, you

with your tempting ways.

You make me sway.

I am an addict.

I push against your hold,

but you keep me locked in.

I don't want to sin.

I am an addict.

Seduce me with your promises.

I crave you with never-ending regret.

There's no safety net.

I am an addict.

Not once or twice or thrice.

It's almost like you shine,

that was my last dime.

I am an addict.

These pains make me quake.

You took me to the butcher,

how are you only sugar?

  1. Those are some very powerful words that anyone can relate to on so many different levels. I too am an addict in so many ways that I sometimes find myself in a daze. Everyday is a challenge for me and some of my minor addictions I allow them to conquer. However, the major addictions are the most powerful to battle especially when I know it would make everything go away, but at the same time I know it would only be temporary. I don't know if any of these addictions that I have will ever go away, but until then I'll continue to search for a better day.
