A Thief In The Night

ADDICTION
Addiction is like a thief in the night,
It will rob you of your joy.
It strips your courage and fills you with fright,
Abandoned like a lost and lonely boy.
It lies to you like the devil himself,
And says "I'm your friend forever".
It makes you put your dreams on the shelf,
Or any good thing you endeavor.
It wants you to die, but not right away,
It is patient, it will wait.
It will make you suffer with the things it will say,
And fill your heart with hate.
It wants you to believe it is "all powerful",
And nothing can match its might.
And throughout your existence, feeling sorrowful,
It blurs God from your sight.
It knows it can be beaten,
By one thing, and one thing only.
A loving God, against lying and cheating,
God will never leave you lonely!
