Cloud 9

It’s calling me,

The pull is as strong as ever,

Must,

Resist,

The,

Burning,

Temptation.

It’s not working,

I’m trying,

I'm crying,

But nothing works.

It’s happening again,

I gave in to the pull,

It felt so good,

Like I was floating on a cloud,

Pure bliss coursed through me,

When I stopped,

It disappeared,

Leaving me with a feeling,

Of being hollow.

On comes the craving,

The pull returns,

I find myself back again,

Replaying the night before.

What’s wrong with me?

Why do I put myself through this torture?

Why am I an addict?

Why,

Am I,

Me?

Author's Note

No, my addiction is not drugs or alcohol.

i can't say i have an addiction but there are things i overindulge in at times,
i suspect it's much like how you wrote it though.
that instant gratification that later leaves you feeling hollow

[Trapped]

Yes. It doesn’t even have to be an addiction. Just something that is enjoyed a bit “too much”.
