Poison

Whispered accusations surrounding me
I wanted you to enter my life
You became my crutch, my only cure
Slowly you dragged me down in strife

Every breath became a curse
Tainted all with your loving hand
Bringing me to the precipice again
As I accepted you into my land

Whenever I decided to hold you close
The destruction of my mind commenses
Your poison works swiftly inside me
The battle for dominance brings offenses

I lost myself within your embrace
Driven to the cusp of death
Unable to the chains of addiction
The stench of alcolhol upon my breath
