Addiction

Compassion not, for one like me

Picture by Luca (see link below)

It was so sweet

the pain

Until it was not

Until the joy

turned into

a mothrfuckin' drought

Drought only relieved

With just one

Little bit of compassion

Compassion not

For one like me

Living beyond the doubt in doubt

Doubt that harms the soul

From deep down

I crawl

Crawl to the only place

Still accepting members

With a cold stone at the header

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks for reading.
