Ever and Never

Ever I have

One choice on my plate

Ever to taste

The cold dish I served to you

 

Mushroom stew

With nightshade tea

Stinging nettles

And salads of ivy

 

I'm guilty

I poisoned your glass

I poisoned our past

I murdered you

 

Don't fret just yet

You've had vengeance

Tenfold retribution

And never is it over

 

I will ever taste

The sweetest dessert

The icy plate

The meal best served cold
