My Poison is You

The Universe will keep us apart

There’s something here in this forbidden place,
Beyond the trauma bonds and delusion
Past your devilish grin,
Underneath my familiar aching

There’s a Pandora’s box I’m dying to open
An addiction I’m waiting to feed.
Yet as the snake tempts me to bite
Something blocks my teeth

You seem good, better than before
Who am I to show up out of the blue
And reopen old wounds
For my own entertainment?

I see the Universe dodging bullets
I sense my reemerging obsession
Who am I to dream,
You’d enjoy my poison?
