Deadly Love

Loving you is deadly Caustic words from your lips Are like poison dripping in my veins Like the venom of a black widow Traveling through my arteries To my already wounded heart Causing pieces of it to die slowly Cutting off my oxygen Causing my body to contort Sending me into violent convulsions Then when I am on the brink of My catastrophic demise Your omnipotent touch Heals my ailing body With just a tender kiss I become ensorcelled by you While for a spell I will be dancing With delight under the crescent moon With child-like garden fairies giggling At my blissful semblance My mind escapes with you to a Whimsical dreamland Where I feel sheltered from perniciousness Meanwhile tension bubbles under the surface The volcano no longer in its dormant phase Fiery hot lava explodes from the top Once again I must succumb to this choleric catalyst That I cannot tame because This monstrosity is devouring me
