My Perfect Poison

My Perfect Poison

We cried and screamed together

But not a word was spoken.

Dancing in one ear and out the other,

Our conversation disappears from your mind.

 

But instead of floating away like nothing,

These words surround me,

Slicing and suffocating

Until all I know is the sound of my own despair.

It’s everywhere.

 

This memory of what we were

And could still be

Is haunting in its sadness

And its beauty.

First above the rest, but somehow always last.

 

And yet the heart in me

Clings to its own demise,

Those poisoned lips baiting me for another kiss.

 

And I accept,

Hurt and beaten by your love

And left too crippled to ever let you go.
