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...
