Love Laced With Poison Poem, by That quiet girl, at My poetic side

You showed me blue skies and butterflies

and gave me blood and ashes

You showed me

sweets and treats

and gave me poisoned apples

You showed me life, and gave me death

you showed me heaven, and gave me hell

And yet

I still feel I must give

my heart

my soul

my hapiness

These are the words

you whisper into my ears at night

dripping with poison

a bracelet that cuts my wrist

But you tell me my blood is beautiful

I'm beautiful

And i'll cut my wrist myself

And so I'll eat that poisoned apple

I'll give you my soul

I'll let you strip me away, piece by piece

If only to hear you say

I love you.
