your poison

this acid rain tastes like the kisses you left in my mouth
your poison of choice is the words you flung at me
and the knife in my back is from the day you walked away
you’re slowly killing me

I know you say you don’t recall the barbed words you said
Although drunk and upset you know excatly what you did
Knew excatly how to get under my skin and invade my brain
you’ve always brought out the worst in me; I don’t know why I love you

There was once a time when you seemed to make me smile
When I could believe you actually thought the world of me
The stars would light up my backyard and crickets would sing
But the stars went out, the crickets died and I saw the real you
