Drowning In Obsession | Lekan Adeneye Malloren

I stumbled upon it without wanting to
I couldn't stop myself from falling for its bewitchment
It brings me crazy ecstasy while I paddle in its enchantment
It make me yearn for more even at saturation point
And when I am done, my head feels empty and my heart feels heavy
A part of me knew I shouldn't have gone astray
But the excitement seems too good to turn away
I bottled up hoping not to get carried away
I turned my back on its persuasive dance
I sealed my lips from its drink
But then it came back knocking
Never seeming to want to end this bonding
And before I realize it, I was already in its bosom again rocking
Oh! What entanglement have I gotten myself into
Will I ever be saved from the claws of this enticing parasite

Poet's note: This poem is about how I feel about obsessions. Especially about bad habits one wants to drop; you feel like really dropping them, but you just find yourself doing them again without really knowing it. You know it's not good for you but you can't just stop
