Addictions

I’m in two minds Within my head Greed versus my will In my two minds I must discuss My addictions still Reason and passion Agree a decision! Two voices in my head it’s With reason that I do agree And not these die hard habits. How so persuasive? Much they promise Yet still back where I started Once more invite These dear obsessions To be the dear departed And when they’re gone Would they be missed Like a lover leaving bed? Or would I miss These soul vampires Like holes within my head?!

Wow, that's deep into the mind. I'm at war with myself when making decisions and fighting off addictions. This is a brilliant write. Peggy, I imagine some addictions leave a large hole and CAN be compared to a lover missed in bed . Awesome written poem. Linda

Thanks Linda. Yes they are missed, but in the way that you miss a lover that you know was very bad for you!
