Addictions

I’m in two minds
Within my head
Greed versus my will
In my two minds
I must discuss
My addictions still

Reason and passion
Agree a decision!
Two voices in my head it’s
With reason that
I do agree
And not these die hard habits.

How so persuasive?
Much they promise
Yet still back where I started
Once more invite
These dear obsessions
To be the dear departed

And when they’re gone
Would they be missed
Like a lover leaving bed?
Or would I miss
These soul vampires
Like holes within my head?!

Wow, that's deep into the mind. I'm at war with myself when making decisions and fighting off addictions. This is a brilliant write. Peggy, I imagine some addictions leave a large hole and CAN be compared to a lover missed in bed . Awesome written poem. Linda
