an addict's poem

drag me along

reach into my throat

plunging poison

reap my deeds and watch them boil

eat myself alive

just trying to get rid of it

a parasite you've planted

an itch that attacks, it's rancid

keep me thirsty

wanting more

a concubine, desperate and poor

build me up, a temple

just to watch it fall and crumble

laugh at my lethargy

but keep sucking my energy

a needle like a straw

bubble and boil

a fruit that coils

and spins

black and goopy

a trap, it's loopy

but the feeling is too nice

you'll soon put me on ice

but I'm too in love with the cold

to see that I should rather grow old

than succumb to the feed

the painful itching need

to burn

A spontaneous thought.

A reminder that I post unofficial microfiction challenges - you can view them in my pillar post here.
