Poison

Little white lies darkened with time. 

Rose-colored glasses stained my eyes. 

Silence louder than I can speak. 

Romance and horror often meet. 

Poison so bittersweet, 

inevitably fatal. 

Lethal sins instead of love. 

Nightmare that I dream of. 

Ocean blue eyes that often met mine. 

Silk-like kisses wrinkled with time. 

Satisfy my craving and don’t leave me bare. 

Brush my strands with a gentle stare 

Cared for thorns before petals. 

Sweet words dwindle to salt when you speak. 

Take me for what I am, not whom you seek.
