Poison

A stretched time ago once when I was hurt

I gathered myself and cleansed away the dirt

Now all time that came, came with care and comparison

And also unaware, born within me was an ounce of poison

I ran into someone and that someone was nice

But initially to believe in that someone, I was cold like ice

Fearful and doubtful I was all along, afraid to have melt;

But a happy existence I craved and love within me I felt

But the poison was within me, and it brewed well

No one could now hurt me, as I wreathed them to hell

But wicked the poison was and unaware it did grow

Now nothing more than the poison was for me to show

I collected it in a jar and placed it outside my home,

To make my foes drink from it, who suffered and moaned

One day that someone I loved came to my residence

Seeming welcoming drink; my poison, was swallowed in ignorance

Before I could prevent, and then to the Gods I let out a plea

Due to my poison, my lover I saw depart beneath a tree
