10-The Addict

The Addict

She knows it is forbidden

she just wants a little more

surviving weeks without it

one day

it calls when she is weary

sneaks up when she looks away

she can’t block out its signal

just one more sip

one last time

she convinces herself so

one last taste

before the reaper sows
