It hunts
It has teeth. They are white and glisten
It smiles and means to bite
Your black wings are my safety
My energy
My love
My self
How do I give you up?
Why, even?
It is so easy to return
To yield - the delicious control
That tells me I love above all else only you
And I miss you now
And there is nothing that replaces you
And nothing that secures my freedom
You ask when
I say not today
You persist. You insist.
I say maybe tomorrow
Or the next day
Maybe.
If I am lucky. And strong.
Never. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 248 [topic] => 66 [informant] => Cathi [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

Sober?

Strength in the poem depicting the struggle but also the deception.....your black wings are my safety, that which makes you feel safe and secure is there to destroy you. I also like the predator element waiting for you to weaken and enticing you in.well written

I really like this and the bit about "delicious control" is a really good description.
