Toxin

(and poison boy)

By Kaloriinn MasonPublished 6 years ago 3 min read

TOXIN:

lies upon a cursed tongue a poison breathed upon the air

only one truth a cure and my pain lays amidst it all

I love you, like a fate I doth can not free myself of

yet tossed aside so quick, this toxin waits confused longing for the poison's poison

I was astrew when you found me.. ragged and broken on the ground

avoiding all that which would love..a pain one to many times felt

suddenly I was batted into the air.. and there stood you

a grace to quell the storm inside thine own heart

as you stole it away, taking not only thine heart but the vault I'd locked it in

leaving a longing.. like a sun burning within my chest devouring me a million fold

and yet now.. I feel once more, so cold shivering in the darkness I have always called home

awaiting you to return and bring the light I have cursed for so many years

laying once more on my side, opened for all to see my contents spilling forth..

this poison laying down killing the grounds before me.. the many enticed by my sweet smell

yet I care not for any of them.. they drink as I absent away..

staring into the darkness for you

knowing yet.. that you have moved on.. that your words were meant to no more then to intoxicate

and yet my words to you.. have all been meant and my vows not to be seen lightly

for I would spill across the earth itself

to keep any promise i have stood tall to give to you.. to give you the future

I now whisper once more to the winds hoping that you will one day hear..

I am so confused yet..I can say it once more for all eternity cause it's the one thing

I am sure of at this moment

that I long not for your soft kiss, I long not for your your gentle warming light

I long for you for your embrace, for your companionship, to last by my side

yet.. I can still smile.. because I know you know how I feel..

because I know you deserve much more

because I know you are searching for your smile.. for your happiness beyond

something I know.. have always known.. I would never be for anyone no matter how hard I try

because I am the one who only offers hope, while living in sorrow

for I am the night, the darkness the shifting shadow everlasting

so please just know..you are loved with every shadow that I am

that you are loved by a fool, a poison left to spill

please know only that I love you.. and even though you shall probably never come to my side

remember that I was there, remember that I offered no selfish thought to you

remember my heart held in your hands

Kaloriinn, James. Mason

POISON BOY:

poison boy

just your toy

a walking corpse

waste away

love me

you fade you fade

hate me

save the day

die inside

for the times you cry

lay in dust

broken wings

no longer meant

to fly

there is no freedom

in this vile

where I lie

a toxin

in a worldly flask

do not love me

fear me

till the last

drop is gone

let me love

all I ask

call your name

my split tongue

seeping words

from my once kind

corrupted heart

past the stopper

they taint the air

with sweet honey suckle bitterness

you should have run

from the start
