Poison,
Slipping sweetly between sugar coated smiles
Telling us
Harmless
Leak each other lies
He said
She said,
S-s-s-s-slithering
Won’t always hurt them?
Just a hint of truth then
Soften the taste
Never gonna graze us.
Or kill.
Then sting
Comes around
Loose the ones you love the most
And by the time you’ve cottoned on
Your slipping it in someone else’s drink.
Poison.
