From a price I originally could not afford.
It came to me priceless,
Fresh and packaged.
I’m glad it came to me that way.
I was looking to bargain my senses,
On something cheap…
Probably used,
And maybe borrowed.
I wasn’t desperate!
I do want to make that clear.
However…
I was thisclose to it!
It was panting on my neck.
That’s how close I had been.
I could almost feel the teeth marks…
Biting into my unconcerned flesh.
I was a mess.
I was reaching to treat a temporary craving,
When I was suddenly hit in the head…
By a piece of falling common sense!
I grabbed onto it quickly.
I knew what it was immediately!
I had used it once before…
And ‘lost’ it in a fit of rage!
Certainly something I’m not proud of,
BUT!
I know when I’ve been blessed,
To discover a rare find!
And I’m so proud of it…
I’m going to show it off as often as I can!
Hopefully,
No one will ask me how I got it!
I wouldn’t be able to tell them where.
I’ll just let them know it’s mine!
And it’s not up for trade!
