Poison

This will surely be the death of me.

-Learn from this mistake.

 

Don’t take much time thinking of me.

Because for me it has become,

What is out of sight is out of mind,

 

And I’ve lost sight of everything.

 

Ghosts of good ideas,

And terrible memories.

A taste of what could have been.

Too much, and never enough.

 

What is it that I want?

You or happiness?

Truth or comfort?

 

I should never have to say out loud what anyone else can see so plainly in my eyes.

This is poison.

Good, creative and seems to say "look at me, this ius what i feel"

Favorite stanza. Maybe you should send it "This is/poison" and allow poison to have it's own line. But it's up to you. Otherwise, love.
