Poison For Two

Oh, I thought I was done drinking poison for two.
These bright nights and shady days can't hide it anymore;
no one knows what I really feel anymore. I say it loud and proud:
"Im fine, Im all fine and dandy these days now."
And no matter what I say,
only my heart knows that my mouth is lying.

Oh, I figured this concoction would do.
You took enough life out of me with ease. The temptress you are has no soul.
Red lipstick with that black dress fitted to your frame.
You are original sin in the 21st century.
Smelling of sweet, spiced wine, leaving me enticed.
I daresay your kiss left something else to be desired;
the rest of you.
In secret times,
I wondered if you were a vampire the way you sucked my love dry.
Now I see with clearer eyes your true form;
a succubus amongst us mortals.

Oh oh oh,
Im done drinking for two.
Take your own dose as you cry in slumber.
They say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down and
no truer words have ever been recorded from my experience.
I can take my poison with dignity and slight joy hearing you call my name out to the clouds,
even they know what you never wanted to come...
Im never coming back home to you.
A pain upon us both, yet
a hidden pleasure I underhandedly enjoy.
