From the beginning when your so young your told stay away from poison.

The term toxic sticks in your mind.

You find yourself avoiding this substance that so easily can kill.

Yet try as hard as you can with all your well, your drowning in toxic atmosphere.

It's poison whispers in your ear.

So sweet for a time, until you find it's seeping in. Clawing under fevered skin.

Little parts of you slowly start to die, those tears you cried, dried into drops of cracked crystal.

Now they only reflect your pain.

You're to numb to do anything but cope with the pain.

Your heart just a whisper in the back of your mind.

Memories of a time when toxicity hadn't tainted everything that bound your soul buried safely under silky skin.

Now it's cracking from the poison that seeps in, smothering all signs of life.

The shine in your eyes, dull like a fading light.

The grey circles under your eyes.

The heart that was once so vibrant with life.

Now quivers shriveled and grey.

Poison you were told to stay away from your whole life.

Has dimmed and slowly killed every part of you that was beautiful and bright.

Chipped away every piece like a treacherous knife.

Nothing left but a empty soul that regrets the poison you so freely excepted in your life.

The poison so bitter on your tongue.

Still you don't run.

You sit watching as it takes hold stronger than before.

Nevermore will you be the same.

Poison is his name.
