Bite the serpent living behind your teeth.
Keep your venom far away from me.
Don't let the reaction strike.
Words constricting my neck tonight.
I can't respond. Not even to breathe.
Poisonous love, quit striking me.
Chocking on your judgement.
Harsh words build higher walls.
Next time you coil up that tongue,
I know it's time to run.
Just like venom slowly kills through the bloodstream
So does your words that are hurting me.
