Illusiory

Old sensations surface 
Rippling through my stomach
Reminders rendering me nervous
Result in a pending judgement

Swore it would be the last time
Foolishly hoping for a miracle
Suddenly addicted to a crime 
Illusively a fellow criminal

A false satisfaction
Masks the growling hunger
A toxic attraction
Sends me rolling drunker

Stuck in a vicious sprial
A never ending cycle 
Basking in denial
Failure a fitting title

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed."
