I can feel it
I can taste the taste of poison 
Lingering in my mouth
My lungs filled up to the brim
And with every breath I let out

Black thorns entwine my heart 
Leaving barely any space for it to beat
I dream of being taken by my sorrows
Dark winds swaying me off my feet
And numbing the pain eternally
I fantasize of being saved by death
Sweet nothingness taking me over
I wish to no longer be
This world is no place for me

Powerful and stunning!
The use of the word "taste" twice in the second line blunts the feeling you're trying to relate.  Maybe something like "I can taste the flavor of poison" or "The taste of poison upon my palate".  But this is just my opinion.  These are your words and maybe there is a reason for how you've written it.  :o)
