Addiction

When you know somebody is bad for you, but can't shake them off.

She must have been Vodka. 

Must have made you dizzy 

in all the best ways. 

Her tongue was sharp down your throat,

But you just couldn’t stop taking gulps

of her air. 

As she passes your lips, 

you are filled with warmth 

of another world. 

Of a world where everything is numb,

except her. 

But don’t you see, 

it’s all a part of the appeal. 

She will hide things from you.

She will convince you to say yes 

to her every word, 

just for another sip 

Every time you step away

her bottle shaped hips sway to you, 

beckoning you. 

Just one more drink from the rim of her mouth 

has you begging for more. 

She will leave you the next morning,

questioning all your decisions. 

You will curse her name with your head hung. 

You will tell yourself, you can not do this again.

       Come night, 

her aroma will threaten your senses. 

And she is back in your arms. 

Invading your veins. 

You know she is bad for you.
