My Addiction
The drudgery goes on and on.
Try to focus, you're too far gone.
To get that fix you'd sell your soul...
To not, spin off out of control.
You feel the need pulse in your vein.
Time plants the seed, a wondrous strain.
It drives you mad to go without,
Though killing you there is no doubt.
The needle lies you once were told,
Before your destiny was sold.
Now all you know, that welling lust
For something you could never trust.
Each time you call, it's always there
To further state of disrepair,
And yet you give your all to it...
The meaning to your life forfeit.
In brief moments of clarity
I wonder how this came to be?
A man, once proud, I dwell in shame;
No honor left unto my name.
Try to be strong, know I will cave,
With nothing left of soul to save.
The needle lies, maybe that's true...
Still, 'wish I'd chose it over you!

It is insane how we yearn for those things that we know are not good for us. The inability to quit or the pain of withdrawal. I really feel that addictions of the heart are the worse,
because we tend to drown them out with other harmful things.
Be strong my friend and best
luck to you.

Intense... The power of addiction is the arrogance of lie too ferocious to deny.

I do reckon a heartache is the worst pain a man can have. I hope I am right on this the last line of your poem
the way it came to me you are yearning for your woman well nothing wrong with that
but this is a fine poem yes it is I have been touching the subject of needles lately I've seen people fuck
their self up all my life and my home town recently became the HIV capital of the world
yes the needle is bad business. The Needle Doesn't Lose check it out see you around

I read somewhere that we are addicted to our emotions, which keeps us in some kind of cycle, even if its a destructive one. You draw an interesting parallel between the needle and love. Which one is easier to give up?
