Poisons


                                 Poisons 

Poisons have their way of being awfully sweet

I didn’t know it at the time 

That you were slowly killing me 

I only knew I wanted something sweet and you gave it to me. 

I fell in love with a heartbreaker. 

A two faced good for nothing heartbreaker 

I didn’t know at the time that you’d leave me. 

I didn’t know at the time that you’d deceive me. 

I didn’t know at the time that you’d break me and bleed me 

I was so love sick. 

I wanted you 

You had the words the made my skin dance.

A deep dark voice that made my stomach prance

You’re poison was more toxic then I’d ever imagined

Sweeter then honey 

Yet oh so deadly 

But still so lovely 

You said you would care. You said you would love me but all you did was beat me then hug me. 

I’d play your games because I wanted your attention but all you wanted was other women’s love and their affections 

I left my mother, my sisters, and brother all for you because I loved you 

You lied and you lied and played me like a flute and all because I wanted to be with you. 

But I’ll find someone else who will love me to the moon and back 

Who will kiss me and hold me and never look back

Who will comfort me when I cry 

Who will kiss my babies to sleep 

Who will take your poisons far away from me
