Lost Treasure

"I'm your friend," the substance croons.
"Come join me and you'll see."
But thoughts get twisted in the lair of
potent reverie.
Tempting, fleeting sense intense,
illusion's useful tool:
happiness mimicked, power distorted --
pleasures rare and cruel.
When elusive bliss has ended,
forced devotion miserably spent,
heart begs of man a reckoning
of where its treasure went.
