Poison
by Rachel "Darknightdestiny" Winslow

Hush, my darling; everything will be okay.

Why should you listen to me anyway?

What am I to you

That should make you change those things you do?

Am I only an apparition- a ghost without a name?

The voice of the convictions your mind tries to tame?

My voice, with the sun, will rise and fade

Into the night- the darkness, an envious jade.

Can I scream aloud the painful cries of my soul,

Only to make you whole,

For nothing- would it drive you away, never to start

The reshaping of your broken heart?

I made known my love for you by my willingness to

listen;

I cared for what was your soul- that beauty deep within.

So what of me now; am I your nameless Phantom- the

one you saw through the rains?

The lifelong friend who drinks out The venom they

poured through your veins?
To watch over the one I love, to protect you from their

hands-

Even if they would be as many as the sands;

To help you, to love you- that is my place;

Know this, when I look into your heartrending face:

The pain this has caused me only makes me stronger;

When the feeling is numbed, I'll love you still longer.
