I Spent Most Of Winter High On Heroine
Your kisses taste like the fire embers of dragon's breath
We told each other as we shiver, outside on the porch
We created for ourselves, another world
I cannot get close enough to you
Our cells could bond and fuse, and the small space between atoms would be too much distance
Shut off the movie, shut off the lights
Let me fall into delirium to the sound of your sleep
Kiss me just one more time before you fall asleep
Here I'll lie awake next to you, crashing waves of comfort and inspiration with no desire to leave the embrace of your arms
Hear your heart beat
Beat
Beat
Watch that small leaking beetle, leave racetracks of ink down silver slides
Watch you chase after it's smoke
Watch the way the corners of your eyes fold into a smile when you pull away
Let this be our opioid honeymoon
Let's drown ourselves and sweaters and sheets
Let's drown ourselves in the oceans worth of love we have for each other
Let's drown ourselves in these moments of reckless abandon
We told each other as we shiver, outside on the porch
We created for ourselves, another world
I cannot get close enough to you
Our cells could bond and fuse, and the small space between atoms would be too much distance
Shut off the movie, shut off the lights
Let me fall into delirium to the sound of your sleep
Kiss me just one more time before you fall asleep
Here I'll lie awake next to you, crashing waves of comfort and inspiration with no desire to leave the embrace of your arms
Hear your heart beat
Beat
Beat
Watch that small leaking beetle, leave racetracks of ink down silver slides
Watch you chase after it's smoke
Watch the way the corners of your eyes fold into a smile when you pull away
Let this be our opioid honeymoon
Let's drown ourselves and sweaters and sheets
Let's drown ourselves in the oceans worth of love we have for each other
Let's drown ourselves in these moments of reckless abandon

Beautiful portrayal of the highs of drug use. You really encapsulate the euphoria of drug taking. Sounds almost mythical and outerwordly. The opening line sets the tone of your piece wonderfully .
