calloused willpower, truncated heart
Breakup Nonet Challenge Entry about addiction.
arousal caught me - a well-laid trap
drowned my striatum in filth
deepened my desire for more
incited - deceived me
calloused willpower
truncated heart
idle hands
open
now

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Thankfully, this is something I am still currently winning the fight against. But, as giving up an addiction, is like a break-up, I felt it was a good subject for the Breakup Nonet Challenge - plus, anyone who really knows me, knows I can't resist an acrostic! :)
