~ Lovely Poison ~

Love….
Sweet poison
That enchants and ensnares
Even the most innocent of hearts.

It holds
The darkest of promises
Of bliss, of eternity,
Of happiness beyond measurement.

But,
Veiled under the illusion
Of such wonderful things
Is the bitter reality of life.

Because
Bliss will turn one day to despair
And eternity is never eternal
And happiness will turn to sadness.

So love,
Oh delightful torture,
Spins a web of lies,
Of things that will forever never be.
