Toxic

All the others move on once they betray

Lamentable squeaks cue seekers of prey

Love’s cruel desire casts a shadow on fangs

So civil, this time I’m sure he’s changed!

A mind confounded by desperation

Will never lead to your salvation

Broken windows, shattered glass

To see with love, you’ll never last

Deafened by pain, blinded by lust

But hope remains, it always must
