Addiction

Addiction is a cliché
and Fatal.

A brutal disease.
It will take everything and everybody
you have.

No excuses.
No blame.
No faults.

It will kill your family
and all your friends
before it kills you.

Addiction lives,
It breaths
It thinks
It knows
and forgets
Everything.

But it is not human.
It is the most evil machine,
a monster.
It never stops,

Never.

It knows what you want,
what you love,
what you have,
what you need.

What you are willing
to sacrifice.

You don’t know darkness
until Addiction wraps itself
around You.

There is nothing,
Except you
and your Addiction.

Nothing.

There is No hope,
No cure
No remedy
No fix

Only You
can put it to sleep

Through death
Through loss
Through Pain.

It Never Dies,
only sleeps.

You will Never
Kill It.

It lives with You
Forever,
Once awoken
