Cravings of a Venomous Toxin
The cunningness I feel, is near
It tries coming for a stay.
Living within a beast I once lived in;
Its a bit dangerous wanting my play.
I have to be careful now, right,
Staying to the right of my light.
With a hostile toxin that is near,
It lakes to fight at night, I fear.
It made me sick a lot of times:
Lusting and seducing bite in me, crimes.
Its promises turn into untrustworthy lies;
Here is a sinister demon that terrifies.
It teases me with its pleasures:
Oh, one of a kind, it is, no measures.
Telling me that I need it to survive;
A bewildering demon, I've lost, run hide!
Every day seems like a struggle lately:
Keeping a sinister entrapped at its bay!
These demons are up prowling to entice, be;
Awaiting its day to play with me!
It feeds on my aches of pains:
Mind, guilt, the greed that’s stained.
The more I hurt inside fighting, being real;
The more this, slither, comes to steal.
I sensed life had enough of me:
My spirit is crushed, hurt, torn apart.
Its Roar stood, heard for miles, miles I say:
A venom beast has awakened, and now bites.
This poison I once craved:
They feel pushed by temptations.
To care about absolutely nothing;
Not even for myself, deliberations.
This slither came to;
Suck the life out of me!
To bring a poison, sinister closer in:
Though the bag did go that day.
I've yet to lose to this poisoning again:
A malevolence venom I once craved;
It is yet to win.
