Your Poison

Your love is the poison that has riddled my soul Taking me hostage, it has taken its toll I've gone without food I've gone without sleep It has blinded my eyes its shackled my feet Your poison fills my being so I can't get away I try to run but it makes me stay I wrestle, I fight, I can not breathe The more I'm with you, the more I desire to leave Why won't you release me and quit playing games Instead you envenomate ,you poison my veins It courses through my body decaying my heart, decaying my mind If I can't escape there will be nothing left to find You will eat my flesh and devour my bones Living with your poison, I feel all alone The clock is winding down, the time is coming near Your love is a poison that has turned into fear
