What Destroys You

You will think of me when your mouths collide, for your body will become numb. Her breath will wither like smoke in the air, and I will fill your lungs. Like blood in your mouth you will taste my lips, I am the poison on her tongue. What destroys you is not our demise, but the calm before the storm.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
