Unspoken Poetry

addiction

my name is Addiction

and I want to be your friend

and have a good time while we're together

and tomorrow it can end

I come in many flavors

each is yours to freely choose

try me only for amusement

what have you got to lose

and when you taste my precious venom

I'll become the one that you adore

and you'll come back to me just once more

for more and more and more

your friends will no longer matter

your family put to the test

I see the bad that hides inside

they only see the best

I will destroy what you hold sacred

I will define what you hold dear

any self-respect that you have left

I will make it disappear

I only have 1 weakness

and that is you 'willingness to fight'

will it be a minor skirmish

or a war with all your might

and if somehow I am defeated

and your willingness prevails

I will take you back with open arms

and I will put your life through Hell
