Pain and Poison

This pain killing me from the inside
I haven't felt it in years
Last time it almost killed me
Sent a knife plunging through my chest
I had to leave the source of poison behind
Detoxicate
But it's happening agin
And I can't run this time
From the thing pumping this poising through my veins
I have to sit
Wait it out
Crying for relief
Not only is this pain hard to wash it out
But it comes back more easily each time
Attacking my nervous system
Causing me to collapse
Stop functioning
Loose all control
I can't ever seem to get rid of it either
It's always lying under the surface
Numbed out but still there
Everywhere I go I take it with me
Poisoning any place I stay too long
It taints everything I touch
Everything I love
Then when it get to be too much
It attacks me
Rips open old wounds
Stops me from healing
Dumping more and more into my mind
More of this pain and poison
