Poisoned

lurking in my heart;
poison from a black dart
potion made from your mistakes,
lies, broken promises, cries
death seeps in slowly
taken its time in pleasure
mercy please be on your way
i fear the darkness
light, come back
redemption save us

Although this is short it still protrays a rather sad moment that many may have empathy with. The title suits it because hurt and pain are thought as emotional poisons. Well done, Ashley.
