The first in what might be a set of journal entries about poison. This is something inspired by my gaian little sister, manga gal, who started the poison poems, and now I shall continue them. We all have our poisons, but Sarah and I have identified ours.
Poison
A single drop
Will save you
When the fates go to cut your string
It will break their scissors
It will keep your heart beating
Perhaps a little fast
It will keep your lungs breathing
But all this won't last
The little preview to it's powers
And it hooks you in it's nets
You find yourself seeking it out
For a short little high
Unaware that you are getting addicted
It pulls you tighter into it's deadly embrace
When you see what it's doing to you
It'll be far to late
You need it to function
To live
It's your will, and your way
When it is gone
You will crumple down and cry
When it is near
All is right with the world
It's always on your mind
When you think, you think of pioson
When you close your eyes, it's on the lids
When you go to sleep, it's in your dreams
Every where you turn, is piosoned
It's name is always on your lips
So familiar to your body is it's presence
It sends shockwaves through your nerves
When it once saved you
It now kills you
You need it
But you can't have it
You will be saved and damned both
