The Sweetest Poison

You kissed me on the neck, And felt my body shiver. You fed me honey coated words Thinking that you were all so clever. I fell for the words that you uttered from the heart, Not wanting to think how they might’ve been poison from the start. People want to believe that we are all good Having our own faults and dark corners, but hid them away as long as we could. But what if for that second you held me close, You were intoxicating me with a deadly dose? They will throw white roses on my grave. The mark of innocence from a life vanquished, Too late to be saved. I dare to say that some may grieve, But what if I’m wrong in assuming that they simply won’t leave? As the earth around me caves Entombing my broken body for days, My hungry soul craves for the tears of loved ones. However, all that’s found is disappointment as I nurse my parched tongue.
