Addiction

This addiction has me tied down to the world, tied down to myself.

Tied down to anything that whispers “I want you”.

Being seduced by its mysterious workings

Getting extruded from the truth

Sucked into the eyes of the beautiful mistress

My life swirling in the blue of her eyes

Falling deeper

Deeper into the abyss

Being swallowed by the beauty of the beast.
