Dear addiction, you've held me tight,
Knocked me down with all your might.
You tore apart my very core,
Destroyed my life, forevermore.

You shattered bonds, broke family ties,
Splintered friendships with your lies.
You took my love, my guiding light,
My favorite person, day and night.

You lured me in with tempting bliss,
But soon replaced it with abyss.
You stole my laughter, filled with glee,
Replaced with sadness, misery.

I fought your grip, with all my might,
But you persisted, day and night.
You nearly claimed my precious soul,
Leaving me empty, losing control.
