"Drink me," you said.
"I'll be good to you," you said.
But it was all lies.
I drowned in your ocean-blue eyes
Your strong arms wrapped around my neck
Your perfect lips mocked my own
Poison kisses stained my mouth
And your words.
Your words were made for me.
Made to make me believe
Made to make me like you
Love you
And now
I'm smarter
I'm older
The poison has washed from my skin
The green has been scrubbed from my teeth
The bitter taste gone from my tongue
But no matter how hard I try
No matter how my mind retches & coughs
Trying to rid my brain of you
I never realized
You never infected my head or my lungs.
It was always my heart.
