Poison

He gave me a glass.
 He watched as we took a drink.
 the smoldering look upon his face.

 I devoured the sweet red wine,
 but the numbness begin inside.
 Then I realized of the taste,
 It was sour and burned my lips.

My throat was starting to close
My breath labored 
My heart strumming hard against my chest.

I fell onto the floor as darkness surrounds me
before I closed my eyes,
I see a dark smirk move across his lips.

I was poisoned.
The last thought in my mind was..
     Why?
