Addict

Descend these darkened steps once more
Down to the void within my heart
Where life and light could never shine
Lest my whole world be wrenched apart.

This aching chasm, blackest hole
Where solace from my God I find
And gentle knocking echo's loud
Whilst I indulge my tiny mind.

Break down the walls for freedom's scent
Hangs sweet above this addicts stench
But strength does not prevail against
This endless thirst I have to quench.

Forgive me now, forgive my past
I pray this time may be the last
But venture down yet more I will
And then dear Lord forgive me still.
