Poison
With every sip of you, I swallowed too much
I sank in your sadness, I drowned in your love
and with every bottle, I became overwhelmed
Hit with heat and the gates of Hell
Every ounce of you, sliding down my throat
Floating in your passion and fading so alone
and with every glass, I was hit with desire
Of a thousand torches in my head, my mind set on fire
All the shots in the world, could never compare
To the lump in my lungs, the wounds in my words
and all the drinks in the world could never really hurt
Like the way you did when I took my first sip
The way you danced upon on my lips
The fire in my lungs, with every syllable I choked
Breathing for your oxygen, craving every letter you spoke
The scorching pain in my veins, the flames in my flesh
Heaving for your poison, so close to death
Your voice to perfection, the rasp I indulge
From the minute I am awake, until the night when I am cold
The poison I yearn, the poison I need
Your infamous deliverance to make me fall on my feet
So dependent, so reliant, to be addicted to your words
To not even care of who it will hurt
I must confront the truth
With every sip of you, I swallow too much
To sink in your sadness, to drown in your love,
and with every ounce, to become so overwhelmed
When you resemble that of Heaven,
but can make me feel like Hell
