Poison

Posted on August 10, 2021 by Penny Wilson Writes

Like a fool
I let you in

I forgot the taste
of your poison

I drank it down
eagerly

My heart in the line
of fire

At this distance
I thought I was safe

Not so

My heart should
listen to my head

Your poison still
cuts as deep
as ever

Never again
