Love

Despite my overwhelming use of self-medication,

However constant and seemingly life-affirming it may be,

It bears no candle to the affect you have on me,

One small fix of you and I find myself stuck

Pining for the use of my lower mandible as my face

Swallows itself in a numbness that

My mere drugs and occasional alcohol could never hope to provide.

One glance across the networking ballroom

And I am sent into a shiver of overly-thoughtful emotion.

The simple sight of you makes

The hair on my severely underused jimmies stand on end.

I can only imagine the incredible potency your taste would

Shock my body and mind with.

Your toxicity may just be too much to handle

And maybe, just maybe,

This is the reason I so lack the courage to make you mine.

You’re a drug.

One that is filthy and horrible,

Yet so amazing that it has caused many to kill in your name.

But even with all of the side affects and

The intensely acrobatic high-wire act I must use to get my hands on

You,

I am forever hooked

And would spend the rest of my life

Without my beloved ‘illegal’ drugs

For just one more taste of you.
