Poison

Every time I look at you

My heart stops.

Your eyes bore into mine

And I know I missed the shot.

I know there is something more--

At least I hope I do,

But sometimes your comments

Make me believe that's not true.

You're poison.

You tear me open

And bleed me dry.

There is something between us

That keeps me wanting more,

You have humor and

That's something I adore.

We get close,

One of us pulls away.

Our friendship is one thing

I can't explain.

You're poison.

You bleed me 'til I'm numb.

I lay awake all night,

Wondering what is possibly to come.

And yet,

You will never know,

That I'm the poisonous one.
