Addiction

The mind shuts down
Images flash all round
Bright lights flicker by
No time to say goodbye

The body lay so still
The devil made him a deal
One last high to seal his fait
Now, his body lay in wait

Consumed within addiction
A wasted life full of affliction
A tormented soul left to burn
He took His last turn

Dead to this world was his price
For with the devil he rolled his dice
The addiction wasn't worth the cost
For now all hope is lost.
