My Fatal Dependence

You taste of cigarettes,

it disgusts me to no end.

But still I come back for more.

I can’t help but crave your poison.

I’ve grown addicted

and accustomed to your influences.

 

Your kisses send me into frenzies.

Each time

I am filled with

self hatred,

loathing,

and pity.

 

I hope that one day I will be able to escape

from your constricting hold.

But for now

I will stay content,

just within the reaches of the dangers

playing around with you brings.
