Toxic
July 15, 2010
Words like sugar
Like sweet honey, drips from your lips
And I eat up every word
I believe ever bit
You words are toxic waste
They burn to the touch
I know I should stay away
But you control me too much
Every word is a lie
It breaks me a little more inside
It isn't healthy to stick around
Constantly pushing my head to hide
Words of sweetness
Addicted as can be
No matter how wrong it is
You lies will always have me
