The Blood & The Bones

sometimes it takes another

to tell you of the poison

slowly filling up your drink

because you’ve been

sipping it so long

that you rely upon taste

even if it’s slowly but surely

robbing you of happiness

was she the toxic mess

that ruined your first ever after

like she played a part in

ruining your newfound happiness?

she only craves you

when you crave someone else

I wish that you could see

it for what it really is

I cannot blame her fully

or deny your codependency

my darling, you’re just as guilty

because you open up the door

and you let her slither in

and that’s a truth

too hard to miss
