Like a Drug

Like a Drug

It keeps on finding me

Or do I keep on looking

The same places

The same venues

What does that say about me

Nothing much

Nothing less

And yet I keep on searching

For the elusive drug

That keeps me coming back

To whom knows what

Something that cannot last

Unavoidably, it is gone

Short lives and dramaticised

It spins in circles

To no end

To no beginning

Till something is reached

Till nothing is gained

Till all is lost

At an inconsequential cost

To who to you to me

Everything remains the same

Nothing is truly gained

The world keeps on turning

My head keeps on spinning

To an inevitable end

That I am yet unwilling to bend

Out of reach

Out of touch

And there it belongs

Not to me But around me

Unwanting Unwilling Uncaring

There is only one end in sight

And it does not seem worth the fight
