Poison
His lips were the poison,
She was, was the addict,
Anytime she looked at him,
She craved for the toxicity,
He was the cause, and
effect, of everything that revolved
Around her, whole of her
World he meant, and she
She couldn't stop anything about
Him, she loved him just
As he was, an intoxicant
He killed her every day
She loved dying for him
One day he let live,
She just wouldn't die, she
Wanted poison, her everything, her
Whole world fell apart, millions
Of pieces, impossible to put
Back together, remained shattered,
Her addiction to the poison
Turned off the ignite to
Her life, he became, her
Slow poison, she attained death
That way, but never died
The way she loved to.
