Watered Down Wine

I've dipped my feet in many pools, careful not to fall right in, test the temperature, the buoyancy. I've stuck my hand in many flames, just to watch it burn, feel the heat across my skin as though I am untouchable.

I've sipped from many cups, careful not to indulge, careful not to let it intoxicate me. Wanting nothing more than to be pulled into an abyss of pleasure, engulfed in something.

I guess maybe its time to stop tempting myself with things. I don't want to drown anymore, I want to skip across the surface as though nothing could touch me but the wind.

  1. The fun of an untouchable frolic wears off after a while.
    Vicious cycles are... 'almost' inevitable
    Bliss is in an abyss.
