Addictions

poem by: Alex Vano
Written on Nov 11, 2016

Nicotine and Alcohol were hard addictions to let go. A cigarette between my thin lips and my long skinny fingers and feeling that fume going inside my mouth was a heavenly feeling for me. A Coca-Cola bottle with half a bottle of Circa mixed inside running down my throat causing a slight burn and feeling it run in my veins, causing a goofy smile in my face every time I closed my eyes and accept the feeling was my bliss. Then one day i laid eyes on a girl with pearly skin and beautiful eyes. Of course I didn't pay much attention to her because I knew the consequences until a year pass and that's when I put my full attention to her. The way her hair flows and sway has me hypnotize, the way her voice runs smoothly inside my ears and stays in my head like an endless echo. Damn girl. Such a beautiful walking thing she was. Nicotine and Alcohol were the addictions that made me feel pleasant, my heaven. But the girl, of course she's an addiction but she isn't heaven nor hell. She's purgatory.

Let go of the addictions, it will only bring you to grief, so much more to life, lose yourself in your writing,you have potential.
