Addicted.
March 23, 2015
My lungs expand.
Breathing in the sweet sweet taste of forget.
The drug works slowly but effectively.
I bring it back to my pursed lips as they beg for more.
The swirl of the thick air clings to the roof of my mouth.
My mind becomes a blur and all problems irrelevant.
Satisfied, I steadily release the grip it has on me.
A pale white cloud escapes through gritted teeth, carrying with it who I used to be.
My lungs contract.
