Drugs In a Carbonated Beverage

Here we sit together,
Sipping sharp bubbles flooded in sweet syrup.
He chugs one,
I sip the other. 

His head is high,
My heart is low. 
He smiles,
I sigh.

He holds me tightly,
I urge to turn away. 
He caresses my lips,
I hold him closely. 

The smell of his breath,
  illegal it seems. 
Dilated eyes,
Sees through Death. 

He swallows ecstasy,
   Sip, by sip. 
His body is empty,
Now filled with dizzy.

I love him. 
The vessel loves me. 
He sits in clouds,
My soul sits grim. 

Here we sit together,
Sipping sharp bubbles flooded in sweet syrup. 
I am one. 
He is the other.
