Venom

It's like an addictive venom
Spewing acid on my dreams
Its toxicity's consuming
A poison coursing through my veins

My soul will scream for freedom
My heart aches for release
And yet my body craves it
Its appetite unappeased

For no matter how I fill it
Now matter what I do
I can never get enough
No amount can soothe

I fear that I will waste away
And I fear that I am dead
I've heard whispers of a cure
But they're just voices in my head

I can't tell which way to turn
And I see no shining light
I only feel this relentless tug
While I slowly lose my fight
