Addiction

i need an addiction
to feed my senses
to keep me dangling between
past and present tenses
to give me
a false sense of security
to stimulate the otherwise
dead ghost of creativity
an addiction
to keep me longing
and craving
a compulsion
forever enslaving
that gives me enough pain
makes my heart
ache over and over again
in drops of bizarre expression
my hurt bleeds out trickling
words i cant quite explain
words i can only hope to sing
