Your Biggest Addiction

the photo in this is of me smoking my marlboro reds. That is coincidentally what inspired this poem , enjoy

Take another drag and turn me to ashes

I am the thing that calms your nerves. 

As malignant as cancer

but you can't give me up.  

Burn me like the weed in your spliff

I calm you and put you on a journey, 

take you to another level

I soothe you and put you to ease

You can't stop using me, even if you tried. 

I am the alcohol that burns your throat

You drink me straight to try and forget

But all I do is remind you of what you lost. 

I send you into a state of depression and emptiness. 

I am your biggest addiction

things that you wish you could stop

but without me, you would die

tragic
