Willing To Accept

As I reach for the handle to temptation I am struck by a future I cannot ignore.

Guilt is the only reward when we ignore the voice to our right shoulder in all its' attempts at solidarity.

What torture is this to be married to an addiction with an ironclad prenup that serves to destroy my soul.

My inhibition brought to light by a chemical demon who refuses to be denied.
