In those moments
When life is hard
The world is loud
I turn to you
I know you
You are steady
And quiet
So I turn to you
We are always
Alone together
But still
I reach for you
As I pull you close
You light up
I inhale you
Intoxicating
My brain floods
Endorphins
Dopamine
Your scent covers me
Nothing but our fire
Your warmth in my mouth
My exhalations over you
I needed this
When it is over
And you are spent
Nothing left to give
My senses return
I wash off your scent
Only memories remain
And your toxic, cloying love
I'll turn to you again
Because I know
Even though
This kills us both
I turn to you

Great read, really enjoyed.
Thank you Katie!
Well done
poem of unity and well written at that.
Thanks, it is a poem of untity of sorts, my struggle with addiction and me exploring why I fled from seeking help and turned towards chemical dependence before I found something stronger... understanding
You are most welcome
It’s solid read from beginning to end and even the other way around! A poetic palindrome of sorts. 🙏🏻🕊️
