Poisoned

My thirty-third dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is my thirty-third dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena, a more graphically vicious one than normal.

The music I have chosen is "Poison" by Rita Ora.

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

You Have Been Poisoned By One You Trusted

They Built You Up And Then Gained Your Favour

Now Your Life Is Fading You're Disgusted

You Never Thought Your Pain They Would Savour

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Lying On Your Cold Mortuary Slab

They Want To Make Sure That You Die In Pain

A Blunt Rusty Knife, With A Final Stab

Then Your Blood Hits The Floor, A Bright Red Rain

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Your Veins Are Burning Hot Fire And Cold Ice

The Raven Alights To Pluck Out Your Eyes

The Poison's Burning You Taking Your Life

Your Heart Split Open By Their Rusty Knife

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Your Body Is Cold, Your Life Is No More

The Rats Swarm In, And They Feast On Your Corpse

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€
