The Phases

It over took me like a drug

So absorbing to my body that giving in was my only option

I let it sink into my body

My veins

My heart

My brain caught on and gave in too

I was different,

Poisoned

As it sank in, my vision was cleared

That drug like a forbidden fruit gave me a rush

The tip of my tongue quivered

My whole body shivered, all of my senses satisfied

The delight,

Comfort set in and I began putting up with its side effects

The uneasy feeling I got sometimes,

Nothing compared to how it made me feel when I was first dosed

I didn't care,

I needed it,

I craved it

Truth set in and it wasn't what it appeared to be

And ugly face under a beautiful mask

It and betrayal went hand in hand

Lies destroyed the beautiful

But somehow I still wanted it

 

Love
