Addiction

Creeping up into my life again.
  Where once you began
and ended
Holding my intimate desires
 so nobody knows
the hurt'
  the pain
the suffering,
  I endured at the hands of the one
I put my love,my trust into
Destroying 
  my mind, 
my body
  hoping my soul lays safely 
where there is silk and lace
  love I am looking for
for myself
  from others
once your gone
 I am once again alone
plummeting into the abyss
  because of the down feeling
wanting home,
  wanting my family
to come save me
  from myself

it starts as a harmless habit....until one day you just gotta have it....if the price is too extreme, remember to run after you grab it....these are just a few of the thoughts from the mind of an addict....;)

It never starts off harmless. It devours your soul from the start.

"I'm sorry you understood what I was silently saying but... it can't be the cuss word or we might get stuck in that "Web". Much love goes out to you my friend."
