Poison Like Desire

Poison like desire
I’ve taken mine
In your form
Slighted
Wounded
Wondering
Places far from home
Away from familiar ground
A ghost
Not wavering
Playing the cards close is so hard now
Dancing with the demon so much easier
To give in
To hate
For love
I’ve swallowed this poison like desire
And I’ve seen you in it
In the fantasy of future
The haunting of past
But not in present
Not here
Not now
Not with me
This wandering ghost
Clutching at life
But just passing through
