A very good poem. Addiction comes in many forms and once it grabs hold it is loathe to let go. It is deceitful and entices with its promise. Glad that you have come back. Marilyn

Comment from Sankey
Hi friend, interesting read. One wonders sometimes how much of our poetry actually reflects real situations in our lives. I also enjoyed the artwork you chose. Not sure how much longer I am staying in this place. message me if you wanna know more. Too public on reviews.

Comment from John Parkin
You brought me in and I felt your plight and thought of things that might have been. Certainly bad enough was the addiction you found and it sounds like you have fought and won. I thought the journey you took me on was excellent and the end was fitting. I was addicted on morphine from a back fusion and it was the most horrible experience I have ever encountered trying to fight back but I won so I really felt your pain. Congratulations for you win.

I am speechless, John with this amazing review and your successful fight to overcome addiction. Life has a way of giving back if we are inclined to see it. Again, my heartfelt thanks :)

A clever take on addiction and the hopelessness of any relationship surviving the wicked ways of drugs. So sad to see modern addictions rise above family, self and life, cheers, j ps. welcome back

Comment from joannakruk
Superb piece with a very unexpected ending. I had to reread it under the context of addiction and I see the parallels. My personality is naturally addictive, my crux being running, training, gym and general physical exertion. The beauty of this poem is that it is directly relevant. The world advocates exercise and movement as something positive, to do, to aspire to increase....but where is the limit. Addiction is like that, we get lost in the act of it, the ego falls away and we become unaccountable... child-like bliss. Well done.

Joanna, many thanks for this thought provoking review. Addiction it seems, has no boundaries.
Have a wonderful day.

Comment from Veenbee
I like the emotion that comes from reading this poem. I can feel the pain of the lies told through the eyes and smile. Great Job. I just wanted to ask, a lot of times I read what people write and I wonder, is it from true experiences or are they made up?

Veenbee, this is partially true. My own son has an addiction to pain killers. But, I am a romantic and was writing a love story ...so it is in truth, only at the end that I found the "addiction" part.
Thank you for the lovely review :)
Always justafan,

Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh, I sure hope this is not biographical; it's stunning, but so very sad! Addiction ruins lives; addiction of all types, and though this powerful free verse doesn't spell out what the addiction is, it's obviously very close to 'a love that kills', and that is a living nightmare. (I hope I am reading this correctly, and I hope it truly is NOT real, but simply a creation of your talented pen, my friend.) NO *&#$@! SIXES!!! These will have to do!!! -****************************************************Outstanding!

It is a truly heartbreaking thing to find out. Love, can make us blind to so much at times. I pray that you will not ever forget this treachery but find enough peach to let it not consume you. Blessings

This is a thoughtful poem. Author has chosen words well, and having fitted them into this form they work well. It flows smoothly. Only thing I struggled was the background colour and small font. Was hard read. Thank you

Comment from Janet Foor
"Deceit" is truly a beautiful written and poignant piece. Excellent metaphor of a deceitful lover. The heartache of any addiction is tragic. Your words share the vivid imagery of the curse that addiction brings to a family.
Well done.
Blessings
