Poison
Any dosage of you is lethal… For me, that is… I guess you can call it a fatal attraction.
What an I doing?
Looking at you
When I know that I shouldn't
A fatal attraction
I guess I picked my poison
You really bring out the worst in me
Allured by impulse
Tempted with my own desire
You lead me astray
Like putting my hand in fire
I know better
Or at least… that's what I say
I know you're bad for me and you know it too
You're silhouette is taboo
You know what you do
And what would I?
To get rid of you
If only, I could kill your curse
But with my strength- there's nothing I can do
The queen of hearts, playing with hearts
I guess you can call it your art
Poison
Killing me
Softly
Slowly
Surely
Poison
Your eyes taking my breath
Call it the death of me
Your voice full of empty promises
Lying to me
A siren song ringing in my head
As if I don't hear the lies in your breath
Breeding actions opposing what I know to be true
Like I'm under a spell, I can see you in my sleep
My nightmares are beautiful… consisting only of you
Weighed down by the scars you gave me
And still bleeding
Poison
I need to stay away and I know that… but I'm still on my way
Like I have no excuse
As if to me you're of some kind of use
Poison
Still going far out my way
I know what you're doing to me
And there's nothing worse
Poision
Light headed and heavy hearted
Facing up yet falling down
I'm losing everything now
What an attachment that leaves separation all elsewhere
To find pleasure in passion is an attraction that's fatal
But here I am, dancing with death
Rejoicing in wrongdoing
Sealing my fate with what choices I make
Thoughts of you are a seed that produce a forbidden fruit
And If reap what I sow then this is will certainly be my end
For the only wage of wickedness is death
To be pulled up from the root
Leaving nothing left
And still I drink
From that which can't be contained
Poison
Sinking into what I can't swim
Who can save me from myself?
Obvious is the voice of flesh
And its roar is that of a lion that none can tame
Poison
Chains, made from cravings allowed to mature
Waging war against what I can't see
To find relief in what exist outside my belief
Call it
Poison
About the Creator

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
