my poison's sweet just like honey. - 5:32 PM

I believe I am a sinkhole to those who enter my life

under the impression that they are embarking on

an easy ride.

oh, how mistaken they are

because soon enough the ground beneath them will fail them and they will

fall into the abyss.

people mistake my shallow smiles and trembling laughter

as kindness, as love

sickeningly sweet like honey, they say

so dehumanizing

so terribly sorry for the mix-up

for I am poison

I am the virus that silently kills you until

it's too late.

you'll lose all hope

just like I have

you'll become so jaded

just like I have

for I am toxic

all apologies to those unfortunate souls

I have wreaked havoc on

I cannot give you what you need.

I cannot give you what you want.
