I drank your love and it was bitter.
It poisoned ever ounce of my blood that is stored in my body.
I can now feel the numbness in my heart.
All I wanted was for you to mend my soul but now I feel a feud inside of me filled with soldiers conquering for your love.
You made me feel like our love was a realistic myth.
My antic mind says your name every night while demons dance around us.
I hope you now know what your poisonous love has done to me.
