Away With The Fairies

Addiction turns you into
someone you never thought you could be
someone greedy,
someone you don’t recognise.

I drift away with the fairies,
to places bright, shiny and warm
but to everyone else,
I’m a ghost.
The lights are on,
but no one’s home.

They say 50 percent of addicts recover,

I wonder which half I’ll be.
