Sipping Poison's

V5.5

I can't remember the taste of love,... has it always been such an acrid taste on my tongue? ...or did I just forget what it was before you? I started knocking back shots, When your heart stopped pumping blood. Parted with all my happy thoughts, The reasons for my laughs sent back to God,... Without your hand, I'm untethered,... Just fuckin lost,... I started sipping poisons, Taking in noxious laced toxins, Tasting lead cakes–baked in carcinogens, Consuming anything it takes to bring me to the end,... (At the end—taking your hand to live again!) A mouthful of Mercury, silver and slow, Somnific dreams pulling me beneath below. Draining the vial, drinking the night, Choking down my pulse to reach your light. Terminal silence in a liquid disguise, Burning my soul right out of my eyes (Just sipping poison---just sipping poison) It's a slow motion drowning, a beautiful rust, leaving life behind me to join you in the dust,... Every shot I sucked down, Brought me closer—insides rotting out. Pestilential bridges erected between us now. All that's left erodes inside of a mephitic, insalubious house. I keep sipping venomous poison's until I choke, Hemlock dregs lacing the back of my throat. Taking septic sips with atrabilious hope. Every dose a promise—you’re waiting where I descend, I know you’ll be there… I know this is where we end. A mouthful of Mercury, silver and slow, Somnific dreams pulling me beneath below. Draining the vial, drinking the night, Choking down my pulse to reach your light. Terminal silence in a liquid disguise, Burning my soul right out of my eyes (Just sipping poison---just sipping poison) It's a slow motion drowning, a beautiful rust, leaving life behind me to join you in the dust,... One final sip,...—did the trick, I feel myself bleeding past my skin. Sinking down,...—eternity now, Bleak fields of nothing peering out. No hands, no face—just space and hollow thoughts, True hell isn't flame—it's just you thinking about what has been done. ...and you’re not here. A mouthful of Mercury, silver and slow, Somnific dreams pulling me beneath below. Draining the vial, drinking the night, Choking down my pulse to reach your light. Terminal silence in a liquid disguise, Burning my soul right out of my eyes (Just sipping poison—just sipping poison) It's a slow motion drowning, a beautiful rust, leaving life behind me to join you in the dust,...
