Doubtful Poison

I want you to go now,

I think you should leave,

Too much time has been wasted,

On the things you make me believe.

 

These thoughts are overwhelming,

This pain I cannot bear,

Confused and worried sick,

About things that were never there.

 

I understand truth,

And I can decipher lies,

Still these pointless battles,

Bring tears to my clouded eyes.

 

Love is often heavy,

When so much is based on trust,

But doubt it is corrosive,

And It will cause your heart to rust.

 

No longer are you welcome,

For you have meddled far too long.

I was once convinced you were right,

But now I can see that you are wrong.

 

You are a slow and deadly poison,

Coursing through human veins,

Innocent souls are tortured,

Until evil is all that remains.

 

May the Lord bless and protect me,

And deliver me from your curse,

As I shall pray for others,

In hopes that your corruption may not disperse.
