The monster's in me. The angel in you

                 I'm sitting in the most comfortable spot i can find Although, at this time and moment not a damn thing would make me comfortable except, for my angel. She knows im in here. But for what reason she never truly knew. So now i sit. hands wringing with sweat, tears in my eyes, and pain........ Pain wraching every pore of my being.

                 My kiss of steel taunting me, it stares me down with a menacing glance that would make even the most adequate of people cower in fear once they have tasted her cold embrace. Still it is so intoxicating that i cannot deny her. The pain it brings to be with her, the agony without her, i deny it no longer. My angel waits outside my portal of hell. Content on capturing me in her arms once more, to wipe the tears from my eyes and bandage my wounds. wounds throughout the years that have been accustomed to self infliction.

                 But still she waits..... waits for me.

                 Incoherent breathing slows to a barely audible pace, just to keep my hands steady. My kiss waiting for me to spill her tiny love. Only brought alive with gentle hands and flame of love will she birth a feeling of solice. Comfort at a cost. She has enslaved me. Chained herself to my very body. Once brought to life she begs forgiveness, wrapping my body in love. stroking my hair in a mothers embrace. I cry......

                 Tears fall incomplete. Short hallowed bursts filled with regret.

                 Comforting me, i stop once again. She, my angel promises to stay with me forever but, i have learned her tricks. I know she will leave me again. To scream with pain and tear my body asunder. Rip my very being apart because my angel knows i cannot leave her by myself. That cold kiss of steel so warm, so loving, holding my very body and soul captive.

                  I sob goodbye.

                 Feeling her depart me body i wait, absolute silence my only solice until the moment comes when i beckon her. Plead, beg, and cry for her kiss once more.

This is indeed a powerful write, descriptions are right on the money, I only wish it wasn't true to life for you. You are very gifted, you should be writing more. This write is very affective to someone like me, I believe we are all addicted to one thing or another. Here, you've given the drug a personalty, all the power of control, the sweet illusion of warmth... Richard
