The Beautiful Poison

More attractive than the pyramid of Giza,
Yet you reflect with the gaze of Medusa,

I found you in your lowest height,
You held my hands and i walked you out of the night,

At times you walk in with muddy feet,
I clean the mess and still you give me cold feet,

How can patience be defined without mentioning me,
Now everything you desire does not reflects me

You drove a spear through my back and left me half dead,
In a quick flash I have been fed with lies I said,

I stared at the dinning and saw your mask on the seat,
I swallowed hard and felt your venom in the heat,

I reached for the door then a bright light shone in,
All I could see was a stranger beckoning on you to move in,

In your deceitful smile you moved in,
with him pulling a casket behind with his name on it.
