Next To Venom

Hate has no substance. 
Why do I inject poison into my veins. 
Next to venom, I feel alive.  
Why do i take the quake into a dive.  
It is the pain i love.  
Why can i never fever to have enough.  
I follow death into her hollow.  
She refuse me the sanctuary of the dead.  
I want a yes but no is what she says.   
I see the tree.  
I have the rope which rose a petal around my neck.   
I do care for the chair.  
It is the one that lets me stand.  
Is that really fair.
What is if Nothing was.
