Simulated Sensuality
For the Sensational II Challenge. When sensations lead to toxicity.
As she grins and moans in rehearsed abandon
My pupils dilate as I fixate—entranced
As my hand reaches down—soft-on-hard flesh-on-flesh
The sweat, the musk, and saltiness hit my lungs
As I swallow the bitter aftertaste of regret.

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Sometimes sensations are toxic or can lead to toxicity. This, in case it wasn't apparent, is based on some of the sensations related to my addiction issues. Sadly, it is based on a true story.
