#WritcoPoemPrompt12
Let her sleep deep, tonight she need not
know about the pain I'm feeling, I forgot
2 order more now a million pins pick me
with just their prickly point to prick me

just the tip of the prick I've been just that
in fact I've been decidedly worse,another
Curse I've constructed by being an addict
add it to the list of who I won't be,addict

addicted to a feeling stealing away my life
My wife on 2nd walked, on our 1st year
I hear shes rather happy, I'm out at home
Still I atone 4 my 3rd bout with a dragon

fire breathing I'm seething to defeat my
foe not friend until the end I battle you
You've become my nemesis I wont rest
as she sleeps so deep, deep into the night

If you struggle with addiction, I'm with you 100%. Reach out if you need to talk.
