Poison to your Soul...
She's the poison you will drink
seducing you, with but a wink
you weren't able to prepare
She has caught you unaware.
Though sweet as she must taste
your heart ultimately, she'll waste.
As this day turns to night
you know now I am right
She whispers softly in your ear
desire for her you wont fear
you invite her further inside
your heart like arms, open wide
playfully innocent at its start
weaving a web around your heart
hours pass they become days
you are blind to her ways
honest as she can be with you
the woman before you seen anew
as the illusion shatters
there is nothing that matters
you can't stop the flow
wishing now you didnt know
what she couldn't give to you
was a whole heart beating true
bitterness comes to take a hold
your heart slowly becomes cold
unwanted and crushed you now grieve
illusions of hate you begin to weave
paint her in an unkind light
it is how you will fight
those feelings of despair
this life can be so unfair
sadly you desire her still
for some time yet you will
may rest find you my friend
this pain one day shall end
and in its place someone new
who can love you strong and true
