Breathing Poison

 

 

This [unhealthy] love is swimming in my veins,
digging deep, nesting, inside my broken heart.
You're words are sweet yet bitter poison,
and I cant help but to breathe them all in;
And they slowly corrupt my battered lungs.

    All this life inside of me,
    revolves around you--
    you walk away quickly,
    but I die so slowly.


I'm standing on memories and holding onto lies,
everything is crumbling and everything's so fake.
My fingertips are resting on fantasies that fill my head,
and every image of you stabs into my aching palms;
And these thoughts distort my vision making it blurry.

    I can't help but to wonder,
    where you've ran away to--
    and we may be separated,
    but I'm still holding on to you.


You are nothing less then the gold hiding in mines,
and I'm searching&&searching, digging, trying to find you.
Every where I turn to there's no sign to be found,
if you're lost you know I will always come to your rescue;
And show me where you are, my love, for you can't be too far.

    My will is getting weaker,
    I have no strength to crawl,
    Without you here with me,
    I have nothing at all.


These beaten down lungs are starting to shut down,
and this poison is intoxicating the blood in my veins.
I should let it all go before I end up falling to the ground,
my fingers are slipping and I don't think I can hold on;
And I'm still standing here waiting for you to return.

    Take it all away,
    suck the pain out--
    You've done it all,
    so you should know how.




[I'm breathing in your poison and suffocating on dreams;
I'm staying alive by the love your needle inserts in me,
Yet I'm completely drowning in something that used to be.
Begging for you, baby, just take it all away from me.]

Title: Breathing Poison.

Color: Gold.

Quote: I should go
Before my will gets any weaker
And my eyes begin to linger
Longer than they should
I should go
Before I lose my sense of reason
And this hour holds more meaning
Than it ever could

      Okay, so I put them all together; so the title should be the title of the poem, correct?

      And then the other stuff should all relate to the content of the poem, correct?

      Sorry, Im not the brightest. =]

        Yesss
        So your title would be: Breathing Poison
        & you'd look up the lyrics to the song
        & be inspired from them AND the quote, along with everything else Does that make more sense?
