#poison poems on Hello Poetry

Tiger Striped Jan 2019

the day we walked in the woods
curiosity was stronger
than i was
as i opened my mouth
thirsty for your spoonfuls
of poison
it dripped from your fingertips
each time you wiped away my tears

soon my vision
had bidden me farewell
how was i to resist
the only voice i could hear
anymore
when it belonged
to the last boy
i ever saw

Poison

I just pretend too much...
I’ve never felt proud of who I am
This undeniable fact is haunting me
And sooner or later it will take me to the grave
Instead of joy I feel pain
Surely one day, these feelings will force me to fade
Among the dead my heart remains
The sins of my life will take revenge
This amount of contempt will be spread
Because my love is poisonous
It’s a hammer destroying the walls
An arrow straight to your head
What could I possibly say?
I’m so lost in this infinite way

poison

poison is what you are,
but i guess, somewhere
in my imperfections, i too,
prefer poison more than the antidote.

poison me, then.

toxicity

our relationship was
filled with toxic chemicals
that
       s l o w l y but
                    s u r e l y
crept into
my body
          my head
                    my heart
the way your love
    did
         not

my love is a liability

I wonder if I'm able to love without making a catastrophe of it.
Is my heart more than a catalyst for tragedy?
I wonder, did you ever feel like you were drowning in my feelings?
did you feel like you were breathing again as you walked away?
did you feel like another muse for my sad poetry?
I didn't mean to try and use you as the glue for all my broken parts.
I'm a natural disaster and the truth is the ground beneath you shook everytime you came close.
My pure intentions always seem to get twisted but I promise you I only ever wanted to love.
I know I'm poison running through your veins.
I know you wanted to spit me out the second you tasted me.

I'll kiss another boy who doesn't know my mind because if he did as well as you he'd walk away the same.
Just know I tried to be simple. I tried until I felt nothing at all.

don’t underestimate the enemy

her lips stretch
to show sharp fangs,
dripping with venom
and
her throat palpitates
as she lets out
a warning hiss;
she is a snake,
poisonous and deadly,
and i have been warned
time and time again
to stay far,
far away,
but as usual,
the allure of danger
calls to me
and i inch
closer and closer,
heart beating
faster and faster
— her body tenses,
prepared to strike —
but as usual,
i ignore everything in my
pursuit.
but,
unlike other snakes
i have encountered,
this one has
the power to
strike back

Rain

Rain is pouring down my skin
And I’m not moving.
Motionless.
I’m standing here notionless
And let the drops wash away my pain.
Dilute the poison.
Cleanse the pores.
Just that my soul could slowly creep back
Through the open doors.

Our Kisses Were Poison

We were the poison
      that each other wanted.

You bit me
                   &
                and I bit you.

And together we died
     in ecstasy within
      each others arms.
