Opium

You provide the opium I need
To staunch the tremor of
My secret addiction.
My trusted dealer I know
Always provides a pure,
Perfect instant hit.
And although I cry as the goods
Exchange hands you know I
Cannot survive without it.
I hate the power you hold
Over this, my fatal weakness
I hate how a single look
Leaves me craving
The next release
I hate the pain, the blackness
Between those vital hits.
But you, my dealer, never
Mention the debt my
Habit constructs
You never complain about
The hell you must endure
Whilst I fight your drug.
You just wait, patiently
Until I crawl back, vicious,
Unpredictable, withdrawn.
Until slowly your opium
Takes away the pain.
You provide the opium I need
To staunch the tremor of
My secret addiction.
