Salt in Your Wounds

You'll see me
hiding
in the dark
of the street
watching carefully
as you
sidle by
but you'll just
catch a glimpse
only a shadow
of me
like a wraith, glaring
to send shivers
down your spine.

Do you see me?

I am the ugly thought
the proverbial monkey
on your back
the vice you can't quit
the last quarter you'll spend
I'm the reason
you're a lush
I'm death on
your doorstep
some would call me
the devil
but there are no
real demons...

I see you.

I am lust
and desire
and heartbreak
and everyone loves me...
