Poisoned Love
Savanah Meyne
"Fading"
Yana Sperry
Your water is murky,
And I cannot see,
Yet I still swim; to me it’s clean,
You know I’ll never leave
My fingers may wrinkle,
And my heart be swollen,
But I won’t care,
As long as it’s you I’m full of
Clamping your hands over my mouth,
It's like you want me to drown
Your poisoned love keeps dragging me down
Into the deep, where my toes can’t reach,
becoming so weak, where I can't breathe,
But it’s here I’ll keep,
For you only want me,
You’re the one thing I need
My lungs, deflated, will burn for air,
But I’ll choke on your lies instead
If you shove them down my throat enough,
I’ll have to learn to swallow
Suffocate me,
I won’t mind
by all means,
Please,
Take your time
