Addiction

A.W. Nutter Soul filling with darkness Destroying the internal light Love, peace and happiness Forever lost in the night Anxiety and trepidation Fills every waking hour Normality an aberration Sanity being devoured Family and friends disappear Cravings, must be appeased Satan whispering in the ear The body becomes diseased Lies and thievery come easy Bowing to the masters trill Creating an allusion of ecstasy Swallowing the poisoned pill Soul filling with darkness Destroying the internal light Love, peace and happiness Forever lost in the night

This is one vivid way to describe addiction. You have used very descriptive words and appropriate rhyming here.

Its like snuffing out hopes and dreams for the next fix that truely has no fill. All else is but a shadow- formless, meaningless. Appreciate your comment.
