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.
