Addiction

I find myself falling into this deeper and deeper... Harder and harder... I fall...
I fall until I can't hit the ground any harder than I have...
Until the world around me melts away... disappears...
Until the clouds above look like little cotton puffs pushed to the bottom of my pill bottle...
The pill bottle that holds the very contents of my poison... The very drug that keeps me
going day to day...
It's grip on me is tight.. Making me weak in the knees... It's flavor is sweet... I am
addicted...
This drug is like none other than I have ever tasted... Finding it hard to breathe when
ever it's out of my reach...
Going insane for just the touch of it on my finger tips or even resting upon my skin...
For the very scent of it filling up my nostrils... Running through my veins and awakening
my senses... I am weak..
The very thought... craving... need... I look forward to every second that I can consume
it's high...
Addicted to the addiction of loving it so... The pill bottle, my own heart...
The very drug that frees me and makes me feel clean of sin... Awake... Whole... Alive...
It's love... It's you...
