Poison

Don’t be confused when I say

I’m poisoning you.

I will kill you,

slowly and with great malice.

I will ravage your soul,

and stop your heart,

and make you see your worst nightmares

come to life.

But, only if you want me to.

Only if you love me.

I’m going to burn myself

into you.

Give you addictions, aches, and hollowness

I will make you high

and stupid

But, only if you want me to.

Only if you love me.
