An Unwanted Seduction
Location
I'm your smallest addiction,
an unwanted seduction,
a sting seeping quickly to
the heart.
I start with a murmur and
progress to an explosion
as my grasp constricts your mind.
As I emerge through the rubble,
I feel your breathing.
Your silent beating sets you apart.
So when the smokes invades you
and your lungs can't help but
fall, too,
I grab your hand as a start.
Don't bother saying you need me
that's the weakness I feed on.
I can't help but stand tall
as you crumble at my finger tips.
You call me an angel,
a mystic spirit,
a sign from God you have been saved.
Look again as you recover
from my madness;
the mask has been dropped to discard.
You gasp from the vision,
your solid reflection
as you pull the dagger from your heart.
You thought I was beside you
but just merely inside you,
I dance silently in your eyes.
Fooled by your feelings,
I chase through your memories.
Your brain, who's misguidance,
has been your villain all along.
Clawing at your forehead,
you scream out for mercy
while I slowly creep
back to your heart.
