Addiction

It pusses like tar out of sponge To this given a chance, grips hold Yet choices to this I made to give in Addiction... Yes I’m addicted Smoking now that it is not its lure is more... Its lure is lust Drawing me in... Closer and closer Unsuspecting gripping me and strangling Strangled in chains as if helpless in a net this is me, crying and praying that for once Yes for once that this lets me go That to be able to live freely I want to, I can’t let it go but I want to I need help... I need... help...
