Addiction's Promise

I have a promise,
 I will make to you.
   I promise I will make you do things,
 You don't want to do.

   The more you
 consume me,
   The greater
 your losses will be.

    I promise to take,
 Your home, your money.
   I will take all that is,
 Warm and sunny.

   I will mar your character,
 your reputation too.
   Your good name,
 I will take that from you.

   I will take your car,
 I will take your wealth,
   I will take your job,
 I will destroy your health.

   I will take your watch,
 I will take your chain.
   I will take your sun,
 I will leave you out in the rain.

   I will take your credit,
 I will send you to jail.
   I will take it all,
 You can't post bail.

   I will bring regret, remorse,
 And more pain.
   I will cause you to hang
 Your head in shame.

   I will bring you misery,
 I will bring you woe.
   I will bring trouble,
 More than you know.

   I will take your clothes,
 I will strip them from you.
   The necessities of life,
 I will take them too.

   I will take the days,
 I will take the years.
   I will leave you desolate,
 I will triple your tears.

   I will own your heart,
 I will turn it to stone.
   I will make you walk thru
 This world alone.

   I will take your desire,
 To live alright.
   I will take your sunshine,
 I will darken the light.

   The road to despair,
 I will pave.
   I will send you to a
 Premature grave.

   I will take your family,
 I will take your friends.
   I will trouble your mind,
 To the very end.

   I will bring heartache,
 I will bring strife.
   I will finish you off,
 By taking your life.
