Hooked

I fell in love by the shore. Nose wide open. In a cool curve I felt a ripple of bliss. Through my eyes I followed every motion. Every gleam that shown through vibrant hue. The echo of true loves kiss. Like that I became hooked. A sharp pain coming from my jaw. To be pulled in a direction that wasn't my own. I panicked. The more I fought, the stronger the pull got. My jaw stung with every tug. I was at a loss for words. Finding it hard to breathe. Each gasp deeper than the next. I was lured by the same shore I loved from afar. The bitter pinch I believed to be love at first sight. No longer able to breathe.
