My body shakes in convulsive punishment.
I need to feed my addiction!
Withdrawal is such painful torture.
God, I need a fix!
I need to feed my addiction!
As blood pulses through starving veins.
Starved for the drug of choice.
I can't live without it!
Withdrawal is such painful torture.
It worsens day by day.
I admit I'm hooked!
I must have it!
God, I need a fix!
Come back or call.
Let me know you're hooked too.
Your kisses are my drug!
Your love is my addiction!
"Lilibonelle: four stanzas of four lines each, in which each line
of the first stanza is consecutively repeated as the first line of
each of the other stanzas, and allows for a variation where an
extra final line may be included.
A poetic feast with scented flower. "Addiction (Lilibonelle)" glows.
In admiration,
