Me and My Addicted Self

I close my eyes and clutch my fist

Trying my damn best to resist.



A wicked addiction drives me insane

Pushing me closer to the sweetest grave

For the high it brings, I must insist

As I feel my insides turn and twist.



I lie alone each night upon my rug

And I feel as though I'm on a drug

It's dark in here, no one's in the room

But really, I am not alone.



I feel the thrill course through my blood

Wanting to taste it in my mouth

Day and night, in my head it rings

And all I crave is the escape it brings.



I'd sell my soul, and so much more

To have it at my side, end this torture.

I scream inside, I scream out loud

I cry each night, I curse the world.



It is all very plain to see

Addiction's taken control of me

My saturated veins are flowing

My body flies without my knowing.



I close my eyes and clutch my fist

Not really trying hard to resist.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

.. in my veins, you are flowing. and your very essence has saturated me. you have been and will always be my passion and pain ...
