To Kill Off Poison
How do you use poison to kill of poison?
Hate given to hate doesn't drive the loath away.
Maybe the venom trickles into your mind,
Pushing out what was bad,
Replacing it with greater undoings.
Or what if this darkness heals your soul?
Love given to hate drives the loath away.
Are you embracing the virus?
Was that what was missing all along?
But you don't understand this is no common cold.
This is far worse.
These greater undoings take over your body.
They steal your daylight,
Casting you into the shade
You're trapped watching yourself fade away.
Nothing you can do.
This was what you wanted to create.
A new love for fate.
Not content with who you have come to be?
Well there is only one way to flee:
Detach the trickling of your hero from entering your mind.
Lay a few moments
And off you go.
Letting go of the possibilities
When you flee from the darkness healing your soul.
