Inherited Gene

I have seen the nature
Of the look
That is in your eyes
How you aren't aware
Of your unfortunate demise

Hiding behind
The door of untruths
While it waits to burst at it's hinges
your'e life is in peril
Perhaps it's time
to burn those bridges

For I have seen this all before
The addiction lies in waiting
Ready to overtake your soul
Leaving you in a heap
as it tosses you to the floor

The chances you took
The road that you take
Leaves behind
The love you forsake

In an effort to start anew
You make a lateral move
perhaps that was not the right thing
to do

hmmm

hmmm. sounds troubling. I hope you are not writing from current events, but you capture the threat of addiction real well...
