| Like A Thief In The Night
Addiction comes like a thief in the night,
quietly slipping into the physical shell,
turning the tumblers of the heart,
carefully listening for the click,
until he opens the safe called your soul.
He rifles around amongst your prized possessions...
self-esteem, honesty, joy, love.
Stealing them and leaving nothing in their place,
but self-hatred, dishonesty, sadness, pain.
If only you had asked God to protect those items!
But, there is still time.
Though recovery you can regain those precious things.
Don't let addiction rob you blind!
