The Venom of Love

Love is poison to my soul
Trickling through my veins
Immobilizing me
My soul chained
To my heart's desire
Until I am no longer myself
Turning into a mere extension of them
My mind consumed 
By thoughts about my love
My emotions on the edge
Bathing in a soothing bath of euphoria
When my warden is sweet
But, loosing control
When his sweetness turns sour
Trapped in a perpetual 
State of hysteria
That suffocates me
