that sweet, alluring aftershock wraps herself around your ankles, twisting and turning, makes her way up your body, only pausing momentarily at your hips, she then begins to move against your neck. you close your eyes and tilt your head back. the familiarity seduces you. she makes her way up around your jawline, she whispers sweet things into your ears threatening you. you struggle for breath as the air is thick and heavy. your skins turns pale. your hands start to sweat. you collapse at your knees.

gasping for breath your eyes shoot wide open, inhale as you start running as fast as you can. doors flung wide, you burst into a small room of the people your heart is closet to. you feel a warm glow. finally it makes sense.
you don’t quite know toxicity until you breathe your first breath of fresh air.
