Another attempt at a sonnet...?

Sorry if it's wrong, I am trying to realize iambic pantameter. Not taking a class, just trying to learn all on my own. Thanks in advance.

Addict

Fragrance of blosoms found throughout the air,
A lustful scent, enfolds the deep desire,
Now forcing you to inhale in despair.
Your nose in pain from its alluring pyre.

An addicting chemical, the content,
That with each whiff brings your death much more close,
A poison! Not doubtfully devil sent,
The portal to hell made in but one dose.

You realize how evil its purpose,
And beg your soul for release of the smell.
But death slowly rose, and with a quick kiss,
Enfroze the corpse in its enchanted spell.

You lay on the ground, honorless and bare,
Knowing you paid the price, the toll, the fare. **
