Inhale, Exhale
his essence
heavy like smoke
surrounds me
sticking to my body
coating my lungs
with toxicity
but I continue
to take him between my lips
sucking
pulling
dragging
his skin against my own
I am an addict
desperate for a single drop
and like the good girl I am
I beg
I plead
until I am no longer able to think
his love is the worst kind of need

I love the simplicity of this piece. People talk about addiction in terms of drugs (like cocaine or alcohol), but people can also become addicted to other people. It reminds me of this quote (I don't know who said it), but it goes like this. "The strongest drug that exists for a human is another human being." Nice piece. And welcome to DUP!!

Thank you, and that quote sounds very familiar. I think we tend to forget how attached we become to others and just how unhealthy those attachments can become.
