Addiction

[..... oh no .... not me!]

It began small..... just a little bit I thought
I really needed it after such a long time without
I convinced myself that I could manage
..... that I wouldn't fall into that trap.

But that first taste was so... so good...
I had no idea just how badly I needed it
I drew the feeling into my soul
.... and my soul said YES!
      .... this is what I need
         .... give me more
       
The next time was different....
.... even better in a way
I gave more than I took
.... but the giving felt so good too
It felt better than I can say

To smash in that way is amazing
.... and I want more

Is this addiction?  We are constantly warned
against addiction.....
.... yet it seems so good
    ...... it seems so right

My soul is bathed in a rain of light
.... you are my drug
         and I am addicted
