Cause of Death

I am dying. But no earthly virus or disease causes my affliction Love is my demise. Like an I.V. it slowly drips into my veins poisoning my body Slowly rotting inside. Side-effects are common may cause depression , mania intense pain Do not mix with alchohol. Then you inject your lethal dose your words like a needle your silence stops my heart and i slip into a dark abyss I am dying. Cause of Death : Your Poisoned Love

Friends in words, indeed. Lacey, thank you for all your comments; I am touched by your praise. When will you post more of your own work ? "Cause of Death".. a heart felt write constructed beautifully right up to "do not mix with alcohol"....( so true ).. then split and almost reinventing the entire poem in the last lines.... excellent work !
