Addiction

Gather it all,

including your heart and soul.

Find the time to go on

and unwind

in a path that is straightforward

to clearing your mind.

First, you will keep it the same

as you go out for your drive.

Just this time,

there is no one to blame.

Second, you arrive

at where you usually do,

but when you take the train,

you’ll feel you’re on

a different set of tracks,

even if the seat is not new.

Third, you work and bring an effort,

but something different,

and you focus on it so much

that you forget - the sunset,

and your spirit gets entangled

with you being all alone.

Fourth, you hope for

the chance that you get another day,

so you disappear.

Finally, waking up in a different zone.
