You Really Shouldn't Have...

by mackenzie-rose-frank

Rethinking your curiosity. You really shouldn’t have inquired Your craving for exploration satisfied, You’ll get what you thought you desired. No promises that it will fulfill your expectations, or grant insight to my motivations. The sensations will be overwhelming, you’ll yield to stimulation. At first it’s exhilarating, emotions climbing to peak, just wait 'til you see the drop beneath. You’re afraid. I was too. Now the fear pulls you through. Cliffs and valleys, highs and lows, Have you begun to wonder when this ride slows? Oh; I apologize, I should have warned, you can’t walk away from this place; this time or this space. You can attempt to gather your things and go, most don’t survive whole. If they find the way out they leave battered and bruised, ego sore, something torn. Now you find yourself tangled. The buckle won’t release, you’ll struggle and squirm, but you’ll soon come terms. I’m half strangled right beside you, you didn’t know ‘til you wanted to. See, “I’ve been in here for years. I decided to enjoy the ride. I promise it can only get better over time. Think of it as the bite of the whiskey with the sour of the lime. You’ll be drunk soon enough... I know I am.”
