Injection

You don’t even bother securing my flesh to the table
Your strong fingers press firmly into my tan skin
As you lay me down...
You know I won’t run away.


The needle is mammoth in proportion to my tiny heart
“With one injection, Katherine, I will forever be embedded in
your soul,
your thoughts,
your mind,
your life...”


Gulp.  Ummmm...
“Okay,” I whisper coarsely


I feel your tender breath in my ear...
“This is what you wanted, right?”
Unable to speak...
I shake my head Yes.


You hold up the long needle... inspecting it...
My eyes lids blink frantically...
As your sweet serum drips from that steel point...


“It will only hurt for a second, baby”
Filled with terror... I yell...“NO!!!”


My screams echo off the walls...
As the needle pierces my skin...
Gliding effortlessly passed my ribs...
Straight into my heart.


Ahhhh...  I absorb you  so easily.


Every drop of your priceless liquid now simmers in my heart...
You smile gleefully...
 For you know in moments
 Every corner of my body
Will have tasted your drug.


My eyes are closed now...
So warm and peaceful.
My thoughts become so consumed with you that
I’ve completely forgotten about that the
 Huge needle that is still protruding from my chest...


“This is the part that really hurts, my dear...”
I’m going to pull the needle our of you now.”



 “Please...”
“Please...”
“Just one more drop” I yell...


You tug lightly at the seringe...
Oblivious to my pleas..
My heart grasping helplessly at the needle.



So just remember this...
the next time you see me roaming aimlessly
In dark alley corners...
Begging for spare change...
Have a little pity on me...
I’m simply searching for my drug of choice.

Ahhhh... isn’t addiction a wonderful thing?
