Something Wicked

Something wicked
Come this way
Numbing me
From all the pain
Take a hit
Swollow hard
Go blind
Look away
No more stress
Something wicked
Wash me clean
See nothing
But beauty
Reality
Is nothing
But a dream
Smoke and mirrors
Where is the truth
It's no longer here
Because something wicked 
Walks my way

Excellent! Indeed...wanting what we shouldn't have, makes oh so much sweeter when we get it.
