Addictions

It starts with a curiosity A desire to explore and feel It turns into a dependency A craving that seems so real It grows with every indulgence A habit that is hard to break It feeds on every reluctance A weakness that is easy to exploit It blinds with every illusion A fantasy that masks the truth It hurts with every collision A reality that scars the soul It isolates with every rejection A loneliness that fills the void It manipulates with every deception A lie that fuels the paranoia It consumes with every obsession A hunger that is never satisfied It destroys with every regression A failure that erodes the pride It enslaves with every compulsion A force that is hard to resist It kills with every dissolution A death that is hard to mourn It ends with a recovery A hope that is hard to find It heals with a discovery A love that is hard to define
