Then something changes. It's not a moment of letting go. It is panic. Sheer terror. This kind of flip flopping of emotion has been present the entire time I have known him. Within the safety of my home far from him, I have been able to conceal it, at least for the most part. But now, that buffer is gone and I am on full display. He can sense the instant change in my commitment. He can smell my urge to run.
I do want to run. I want to get the fuck out of here. What was I thinking? How could I let myself be so lead by desire and the urges that fill me. He is like heroin to me. I can't get enough of him, good trip or bad, I always want more. He doesn't even have to try anymore and I can't get out of the cage. I throw myself back and forth against the bars. I really don't want to be here. I want to go back to the time when life was controllable. I want to go back to exploring the beauty of being light. But instead, I am whirling around in my darkness. The spiral fueled by his immorality. I cannot get out. The pain and the pleasure are one in the same.
All my life I have fought this urge to be in the cage. I would enter briefly and then I always escaped. I had yet to meet someone powerful enough to contain me. Repeatedly, I came out looking like the poor lovely soul who crossed paths with the monster. No one, except for my gruesome lovers knew how much I added to the chaos, craved it, received it with open arms and dripping sex. I don't know why I am like this. I just get off on the evil of others. I like to watch them hurt others. And, for my own destruction, I pay top dollar for a front row seat. I am not going to apologize for the way I am, although it is something I try so desperately to extinguish. You know, for the greater good.
