slow addiction

Drinking burns your lungs with
every gulp,
every bottle,
every shot…

But it makes you forget
every problem,
every heartache,
even for just a moment...

With every puff, every stick, cigarettes gives
you chemicals that rust,
dead people
and poison contain…

But still it temporarily gives you that calm that you need to pacify your nerves.

Just like love…

It breaks your heart,
makes you cry,
and highlights every emotional weakness in you.
and yet,
you take it…
you give in.
because of the simple fact that deadly things,
even for a short time,


feel so good and so right.
