chasing the dragon

In American drug use slang, "chasing the dragon" refers to the elusive pursuit of the ultimate high in the usage of some particular drug. The term alludes to the feeling that the next ingested dosage of the drug will result in a nirvana that seems and feels imminent and conclusive, yet upon penultimate consumption never quite yields the promised experience - leading to the desire for the next dose that still promises the same - thus chasing the dragon but never catching it.

i keep wishing things will go back to those days when everything felt so amazing.
indescribable.
but it'll never happen again.
what i keep doing to myself is unhealthy.
for some reason i can't stop.
i'm stuck. i'm addicted.
he's like heroin.
