A Hangover

Betrayal of the heart
cocaine disguised as oxygen, 
controlling your breathing 
slow to grow like an addiction;

Enamored;

Such passion confined, 
exonerated with a touch;   
Wordless I cry out, 
as reality collapses; 

Enraptured;

Tripping on the taste,
in the dark inhibitions fall
for everything enhanced
left strung out with a hangover.
