Poison

I would have done anything for you.
But after witnessing the evil acts that were spawned by you, I need to get away.
I am running down the stairs panic stricken, longing to escape.
How could the person I love be the monster I saw before my eyes?
As I open the door, this warming sensation envelops my body.
At first it seemed to be of a pleasant nature but soon it became sickening.
I could feel my legs giving away as I run down the street.
My head continued to throb as I was looking for help.
I was screaming as my body temperature continued to rise.
Then all of a sudden I collapsed by a lake.
You knelt down beside me and kissed my unconscious mouth.
All the while my body was trying to reject your advances to no avail.
As I opened my eyes, I could see you holding me tightly.
I gasped, trying to break free but the poison has already set in.
