The Kiss of Death

A poisoned mind..
Venom poured and trickled through..
Wounded by rituals thrust upon me.
Intoxication of your madness..

Betrayed effortlessly..
A deceitful cunning environment..
Contagious disease of insanity..

Lies along with false pretenses..
As you claim an undying love 
For you use love in the name of fear..

Usage of fear mongering a constant routine
A predator you are..
Stalking on it's prey..
I am your prey
Not your undying love..

A venomous snake spreads toxins..
Underhandedly..

You swam under water..
I swam above water..
Above and beyond..

You had given me the kiss of death..
I had turned away..
Whole heartedly..
As I breathe the breath of life..
The breath of life I am..
