Poseidon's Poison

June 1, 2015

Sitting there in the bathtub

Glass sitting on the side

Sound cloud turned all the way up

House to myself

Wine glass had crown and codeine

All hail the king and his queen

Trying to decide between

Pouring it down my throat or the drain

It's supposed to numb you

Yet I was trying to run

From the numb of life

And feel something for a change

Potent as rat poison

Colored like strawberry wine

Enticing as sin

Binding like medusa

Still indecisive I take a sip

And then decide not to

So I made the bitch sing

Song of a siren

And oh girl

this boat is sinking

Like the titanic

Sink the unsinkable

The things you didn't think

We're even possible

Are now your biggest fear

And fateful reality

Hate cannot drive out hate

However poison can

Chase away the

Poisoned thoughts
