Poisoned
Magical times trapped in my mind
Hazy with joys and pleasures
Now devalued and not worth a dime
Someone has stolen all my treasures
Those memories that kept me warm
And suffused me with a glow
But the evil did change and transform
And took the joy they did bestow
No more lazy days spent reminiscing
Thoughts all wrapped up in love
I keenly feel that they’re now missing
I’m like the hand without its glove
Like a mental tendril through the mind
This evil ran right on through
It was hidden behind that face so kind
And took all that I ever knew
My mind is a barren land of poison and waste
Happy memories poisoned dead
Happiness gone, with dust it has been replaced
Its all tainted, every last shred
The thoughts I held so dear now deadly
Like a rabid family dog
But this was achieved and done designedly
Mind felled like a log
I can never now go back inside my head
To my times of happy joy
And day dreaming for me is now dead
For I was used like a toy
What evil would ever turn my mind,
To something I cannot touch?
This evil with which I was entwined
That had me in its clutch
It was the one and only I trusted so fully
That dropped that deadly vial
To her my eyes were so very woolly
She should really stand on trial
