Poisoned

Magical times trapped in my mind Hazy with joys and pleasures Now devalued and not worth a dime Someone has stolen all my treasures Those memories that kept me warm And suffused me with a glow But the evil did change and transform And took the joy they did bestow No more lazy days spent reminiscing Thoughts all wrapped up in love I keenly feel that they’re now missing I’m like the hand without its glove Like a mental tendril through the mind This evil ran right on through It was hidden behind that face so kind And took all that I ever knew My mind is a barren land of poison and waste Happy memories poisoned dead Happiness gone, with dust it has been replaced Its all tainted, every last shred The thoughts I held so dear now deadly Like a rabid family dog But this was achieved and done designedly Mind felled like a log I can never now go back inside my head To my times of happy joy And day dreaming for me is now dead For I was used like a toy What evil would ever turn my mind, To something I cannot touch? This evil with which I was entwined That had me in its clutch It was the one and only I trusted so fully That dropped that deadly vial To her my eyes were so very woolly She should really stand on trial
