Addiction

It is nectar
Don't fear
Claims the invisible voice
I lean forward
Tongue stretched
Let it drip into my mouth

Heaven! I exclaim! 
I want more 
It's a perennial river
With my limbs tied 
Pushing pain aside 
I stretch and stretch for drops

Every day and every night 
Only one thought on my mind
Hope the nectar flows forever 
But the voice fades 
And warnings unheard 
Sour to bitter taste changed 

It's poison now
I can't let go
I still stretch to drink the drops
With limbs still tied
All hopes have died 
What saved me once, is now my suicide
