your lips are like morphine needles
i put them to my arms and the pain goes away
in sweet destructive addiction
i lie here
my heart slows with words in my ear
like poison they kill a town's father
green round my mouth and eyes
as i wake up dead
so kiss me with your poison lips
cover my eyes with the lies
that drip sweetly with honey
from your mouth
Author notes
i dunno, i was just inspired by a word bank from a contest, but i didn't like the rules, so here's what came of it.
the line
like poison they kill a town's father
just so you know, another name for a town is a hamlet
therefore words are like poison in the ear of hamlet's father. just a cultural reference.
In a list
i'm in a dark romantic mood, what can i say?

Aw, Morphine
I love the theme of addictive and unhealthy love and lust. Like the four elements, feelings have the potential for nurturing or destruction. You have captured the potential for destruction well in this piece.
