Honey in my tea, dark and deep and sweet With phantom eyes reflecting, rich and daunting Through steam and aroma, they taunt me as the leaves steep Nostalgia tangles around my throat
Vines that climb, constrict and bind and thrive Like hands encasing, cruel and menacing Around my neck, those memories do obstruct They catch my breath, cloak my mind
Clouds so thick, foggy and blind and nebulous With patchouli scent, lovely and alluring Like ghostly fingers tracing along my memories Such pins and needles in my thoughts
Stevia leaves, as darkly green as roses leaves Naturally sweet and desperately deceiving Roses red, full of secrets hidden beneath ruby petals Echoing off those walls within
That’s the thing about poison, you never know it’s there Till your cup is empty and your heart is heavy Bittersweet are the sugarcoated words passed between vilified lips It was always as toxic as it was sweet
Love is like a bushel of berries, so alluring and safe at a glance But once you get a taste that sweetness enraptures you so fast That you have no chance to guess whether it is juniper or death It’s all over before you can react
We hide behind a web of wishes weaved within sweet nothings Lovers words are filled to the brim with promises too burdensome to keep You close your eyes and begin to blindly leap, but danger never ceases to creep And so you fall head first into loves abyss
Belladonna in my tea, dark and deep and sweet With phantom eyes reflecting, rich and daunting Through steam and aroma, they taunt me as the leaves steep Love is deadly, like venom on your tongue
