Poison Kisses
I think i know why
people kiss with their
eyes so tightly closed
because
they are afraid of opening their eyes
to find the monstrous
poison on them,
the poison
of love stitching shut their mouth,
coursing it's poison into their
lips, and it resides there forever
hurting until the only way to rid themselves
of it is to bleed it out
slowly, quickly, too little too much
effecting
them in all they do, yes they feel it
bleeding them from the
inside out,
leaving nothing but holes
yes
nothing, a blank space where once
maybe there was flesh
feeling, love
a heart?
But: it doesn't matter now
because all they have to show
for kissing with their eyes so
tightly closed are:
scars staring back at them
from the inside out
eating away at
insanity until they laugh and
laugh at those fairy tales
and lies all because those kisses
blinded them, and they
took a fall for a monster
In the so called name of love.
