Analysis of I See Poison Ivy
dig a hole in my heart
you're like a shotgun blast
pulsating in my veins
you're burning hot
like thick black tar
i use to paint the walls
you're like poison ivy
beautiful from a distance
lethal when inhaled
fragile and mysterious
like a paradox
you have that look in your eyes
like a dog left out in the cold on a winter night
