The Passion of Poison

The gateway to your mind, scattered with wounds from the battles over your demons, stands before you.
Unscathed, it shines with wisdom and courage.
You pass through it and the sky turns dark, clouds of the darkest sort ride in and block out the light.
Thunder travels slowly behind it as lightning webs the sky.
With each flash of light the shadow of a black widow can be seen crawling across the web.
It breaths, the poison fills the air and rains down into your lungs.
You cough knowing it’s too late, you’ve been drugged.
Laying there you go over everything this venom has caused you.
Pain and happiness run parallel in your life with this venom.
It’s intoxicating like the one you have fallen for.
Smile for even though it brings you pain, you are happy.
You have a little of paradise in your mind.
Putting yourself through the pain is worth the calmness she brings.
Venomous or not, you will never allow this one to escape even if it’s all just make-believe.
