Toxic Love

The air I breathe is poison
Filled, with toxic love
With each breath I take, I suffocate
For it's you, I'm thinking of

I'm dying from the inside out
A little more each day
An infection, of your rejection
And it will not go away

A fatal disease, without a cure
My heart will turn to stone
It won't be long, before I'm gone
I feel so all alone

My soul cries out in agony
The pain, too much to bear
Growing fast, this cancerous past
A coma, of despair

I die a slow and painful death
Drowning in my tears
A broken heart, that's torn apart
Withers. and disappears

Distressing and heavyhearted. Graphically scripted.
