Poison Was the Cure

I miss the warm embrace I felt First time you touched me Secure and safe in open arms I should have known you’d crush me A snake, you were when we met I loved you anyway Pulling out your poisoned fangs The venom never goes away Serpent swims free in my blood Dragons sleeping in my veins Jekyll speaking with tongue Roach egg laying in my brain Stalked beneath your shadow Sleepwalking to the gallows I’m the sun that beats your brow in Till I finally threw the towel in Never knowing if I’d wake up In a whirlpool, got redundant My brain was just some driftwood In a cesspool I became dead From a rock star to a desk fool Was my destiny someone said Life’s a tide pool Taste the waters, life’s abundant Taste me
