Anything, Anyone

Can become

A bad habit

It almost goes, unnoticed

Focused on something else

It just sneaks in

Nibbling

in the background

Before you know it

Habit's biting you

Forced to feed

It's greed

Trying to tame a tiger

Bound to your

Blood soaked bandage

Every finite fibre

Of threadbare

Existence

Just holding it together

No freedom from

Affliction

Till you realise

You're addicted
