inhalation;
Intoxicating, harsh proximity drives me to a crazed euphoria.
Tingles and taunts at my collar bones.
Fumes linger, wrapped around my waist, grasping at my sides.
He holds me still.
      “Shhh”

consumption;
This welcome embrace beguiles me.
Feeds my passion, feasts on my inhibition
Forced to yield to this utter *******,

My passion dissipates
Yanked out of euphoria with a whisper of the past
Tortures me with sordid memories
Futile struggles detained
Then crash. Then shiver.
Unwelcome embrace inflicts his artificial soothing.
       “Shhh”
