Addiction

Oh sweet addiction ! You are my Goddess You deliver me from tempest, darkness and fear Voice of life's problems I cannot hear So beautiful in your temptress dress. Oh sweet addiction ! Better than wealth or fame All night long, incredible pleasure ! I kiss your wine, world's best treasure At the top of a high mountain, you scream my name ! Oh sweet addiction ! You drowned me in the bottom of 7 seas. One night of pleasure, whole week of pain My head feels like it's been hit with a Cain ! Sleeping in a gutter, sunburned head stung by many bees! Oh sweet addiction ! Get out of my life ! I need joy I am bigger than you, observer of your dark dissipating sore My whole life changed, from tiny mouse to lions roar ! The moment of CHOICE to build my life rather than destroy.

Bruce, I am sorry for people who face great addictions like this. Not sure what yours is, but I know even small addictions like I have are so very difficult to break, so I hope you can be free of the chains of your sweet addiction. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas too!! I like your writing style here.
