This Addiction

Posted Oct 8, 2022 · 34 lines · 2 critiques

One Kira Noir,
With some Riley Reid,
I know they're not real,
But they're real to me

Indulged in the vice,
Since the age of twelve,
Preacher preached sermon,
"You're going to hell"

Enticing allure,
Calling quietly,
"A little bit more,
Last time you'll see"

What is all of hope,
Trapped in misery,

Read the rest of the poem Show less

Washed with bloody cloth,
Rinsed in secrecy

Natural or not,
It feels like prison,
Nothing free about,
This indecision

No moral question,
More of discipline,
Chronic offender,
Struggling within

Pardoned affliction,
disguised as self-care,
Sermon remembered,
"I'm already there"

These shackles remain,
Shame then self-deceit,
The only release,
To rinse and repeat.

"Detachment wasn't the right title for this. In the moment is much more suitable. I feel that you spent your time meditating wisely, excellent job! ~ Geezer. ."

"If that happens when composing try pressing Shift-Enter, instead of just Enter. It won't start a new paragraph and will make the lines space normally. Otherwise I think the archaic language detracts. As Ian implied, by…"

"that's a very good way of expression, novelty is required to avoid the Regina, but Victorian wont hurt, this is very good because i really enjoy classical works, highly admired by me."
