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
