Mr Poison
she is the aftermath of Poison's toxic touch
the result of rage forcing down her lungs
latching onto her vocal chords
leaving the rosy tongue numb
the trachea struggles to release rapid breaths
as the Poison clasps with all its might
putting the larynx and pharynx on pause
the Poison leaves a somber conscience;
lost soul;
broken heart;
bleak visions
here, she drowns into a sea of hopelessness
plunging into the depths of a drab abyss
as fear's imprints stain her discolored skin
a recurring nightmare embodies her
intoxicated by darkness
swallowed by sorrow
Mr. Poison waves goodbye
well, that is
until tomorrow
