Addiction's Peak

Heart racing faster than a hummingbird's wings. A click.

Empty and hopeless your eyes fix on the unclean screen.
A mountain of smut that begs you to climb
The higher you climb the more numb your heart becomes
The carnal within starts to over power and win

Blood red hands from the rocks that cant hold you back
The duplicitous heart begins to calm
From the refreshing dark night, the damning screen's glow.
Nothing more familiar can stop the tick of the clock
At mountain's edge.  At Addiction's Peak!

No going back, still no assault of regret.
Secretive. Unscrupulous you remain

Off the edge you fly, or is it that you fall?

Before the screen grows dim, tremors begin.

Hurried hands, a climb's memory must erase

The numbness fades, a loathsome crippled heart remains!
Imploding regret!  A mountain's weight constant on your chest.
You push the mountain far from your mind.
Yet always remember its trailhead, ready fro another climb.
