Poisoned Love

You're on my mind more than I'd like to admit.
Missing you like a long distance lover.
When you come around, all I can think of is the pleasure of your presence.
Always taking me on a high to Wonderland.
Blacks and grays fade in and out of each other as I come down.
I want to stay in the skies with you forever.

We meet in the darkness of most nights.
You bring me home from houses that I did not belong in.
You always seem to be there.
In situations where I am vunerable and unsafe.
Thank you for saving me.

We had a magnificent thing going for us.
You were saving me and I was making you happy.
However, our relationship was not all that I thought it to be.
Together, the only things on my mind were silver objects and red liquids.
I loved the way red paint looked against a silver canvas.
How red contrasted perfectly with peach.

All you ever ask is for me to listen.
Though I am stubborn, I love listening to you.
Your voice is smoother than jazz.
In a crowded room, the sound of the words that form on your tongue keep me calm.
You are always there to whisper sweet nothings into my ear.

Little did I know that you were the only thing that made me vunerable and unsafe.
My heart bled for you.
Little did I know that those sweet nothings you whispered into my ear, were death threats.
I loved you with my soul.
But before I could realize that you were the poison that I had been drinking,
it was too late.
