Sometimes the brain and the body can’t agree on what life’s really about
Sometimes the love of a friend comes wrapped in a dangerous package
A shiny one, that makes you feel powerful when your gentle tug slices it wide
Or a bright one, that dazzles more than just your sense of taste
Eyes betray you, looking long and deep
Nose doesn’t help, taking what is cheap and making it rich, full, satisfying
Breathing in how good it would feel
To just give in for a second
Just once
But it’s never just once
There’s always another second
