Poison Love

You have serpents in your mouth Slithering and hissing Your words Dripping with venom Poison hanging on their tongues You're like Satan When he appeared to Eve Speaking lies so sweet Making me believe your temptation Convincing me to take that bite Taste the forbidden fruit A demon masquerading as a saint Using your charisma to pull people in Smooth as glass eyes with an evil glimmer So alluring Captivating me and everyone around you Your sweet nothings graze our ears As you slink your way around the truth Your lethal deceit Squeezing out the life Of everything that once was pure I didn't want to believe you But with words so sweet I was caught in your trap Falling for your snake like charm Something so vile never looked so lovely Your sick fabrication of truth Stringing me along Pulling me in deeper and deeper Into a fatal attraction That no one else could understand Your toxins invading my bloodstream Making me hooked Craving more Wanting that feeling Not knowing it was a sickness A virus disguised as love Every time you kissed me My life was being drained As you contaminated my soul Perversion taking it's hold Slowly killing me But I didn't want it to stop I didn't want to let go Thinking I could change you Stop the vicious cycle of sins But I was already in too deep Already infected by your sting

The deadly venom from that negative love is deeply expressed in this amazing piece. Great imagery, with metaphoric wonder. An enjoyable overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.
