Poison

This is not a poem and this is not about you

It's poison
But they can't see it through the lies
And I'm drowning
Can't you see it in my eyes
I'm dreaming that I will wake up from this fear
I hold on to everything that passes here

When I wake up
Will I see you and her again?
When I cry out, will I be forgotten?
When I reach up out into the open air
Will I see your eyes telling me they care?

It's poison
It's the drug that they don't know
It's dark black
But every other colour shows
I run from the danger every dose could bring
I won't wake up just to feel the bitter sting

When I wake up
Will I see you and her again
When I cry out, will I be forgotten?
When I reach up out into the open air
Will I see your eyes telling me they care?

I see it cut into our fragile lives
It slices with the sharpest knife
It breaks apart what we once knew
How could I let it do that to you

When I wake up
Will I see you and her again
When I cry out, will I be forgotten?
When I reach up out into the open air
Will I see your eyes telling me they care?
It's poison
It's poison
