Notes About The Poem

~A METAPHOR PERTAINING TO ADDICTION~

Slithering Out From the Deep

Hissing noises...

A forked tongue...

I hear the poison.


Fangs dripping... 

A lethal infection...

I'm always tripping.


The road ahead is lonely...

Will I survive...

Her injection?


Choices made...

Before the sun rises...

Boom, Boom.


I love you...

But, 

I'll kill you...

That's the price of change.
