like a moth
to a flame
an addict
to cocaine
doesn't the light
always win
against the moth?
doesn't the drug
always take
over the addict?
because the moth
cannot miss
because the addict
cannot resist
it's always
the object
the offender
that forces
us to surrender

This was a realy good write. There are great lines but the best part is the flow from one stanza to the next and each builds on the last. Very well done definately a fave
Thank you so much!
A person struggling with cravings is not forced to surrender to them. They choose to. Why? Because life seems unbearable without getting the high (for the most part). Is there a way out of this mess? For sure. The cravings are a signpost. Where to? Lets find out!
thank you for reading!
Awesome! Love the rhymes!
thank you!
Wow! This is profoundly true and very relatable. My drug was not cocaine...different substance, same principle! Wonderful write, dear friend and poet! 🌹👏
Cocaine just rhymed with flame! It was the first thing I thought of...hahaha! Thank you so much, and welcome back!
I kinda figured that...but no judgments either way! 🤣 Thank you, my friend!
Never tried Cocain. Lol. Might be a lie. Can't exactly remember. Just kidding. This is my favorite read for quite some time. Not to offer my opinion bc this is a great write but after "over the addict?" I would have written "at what cost". Mesmerizing. You have a beautiful talent.
Thank you so much! I like that idea! Thanks for reading!
Nicely done,
I like the end, it indeed the offender that forces us to surrender.
Thank you for reading
You're welcome dear
