Addictive

It’s worst!!!  
It’s worst than cocaine. 
The purest in the market, 
Did me no harm. 

Alcohol and spirits 
Caused me no pain 

None did 
Neither them nor their friends and cousins 

None did 
Not even arsenic 

All were poisons 
But none were poisonous 

Poisonous you were 
I trusted you before them 

They came and left with no marks at all 
You glanced and I was in pain 
You came sat and I was harmed 
You touched and now I’m no more but a memory of yours. 

Please go away 
I’m already addicted 

It’s too late
