Poisoned Heart

Burn me at the stake
Craving something sweet
my desires,
take them away.

Self controlling
but uninhibited,
never finding 
satisfaction.

yearning, twisting, turning,
a bug flies above my head
I let it be for now
hope it doesn’t burrow through my brain.

Spiders dancing on the wall
one evil snatches another
if they are big enough
to slay the beast.

Streams of blue-
green strips
white puffs of smoke-
a far off lonely soul

never sleeping
always wanting
demanding attention
always seeking

in the darkness
secretly weeping
your love
is my weakness

peaceful sorrow
spilled onto an outstretched skin
ink and blood
wrapping bone
in flesh and sin

little affection
unrequited love
submitted love
unwanted and unproven

abandoned
wasted effort
start anew
fallen into 

another trap
chewed my arm off
it grew back
scars left there

brewing a fresh
new poisoned heart
a brand new start
it creeps in

the mind uncertain
unremitting,
smitten with jealousy
coveting her.
