VII. My Venom

24 7 11
                                    

Oh my love,

you're sweet, 

as sweet as sugar and honey combined.


But darling... You're poison,

as deadly as a bullet,

as lethal as cyanide.


You kiss my wounds,

but reopen them afterwards.


You assure me you'll never leave,

but then lock the door right after you've left.


Your smell, my wolfsbane, 

your kisses, my Methanol.


Your gaze, my Medusa,

your touch as fatal as poison ivy.


Let me choose you as my venom,

let me choose you as my kryptonite.


Hold me while I write,

only this one time.
