Together
June 8, 2011
She poisoned an apple
Just for me
But we involuntarily share it
She lay a trap
Just for me
But we both fell in it
She broke my heart
Just for fun
But cracked her in the process
We choked on poison
And gagged on lies
We plummeted together
Screaming at (and for) each other all the way down
Our hearts were shattered
But we scotch-tapped them back
Together
The two of us
And yet
We're both still full of venom
We're both still stuck in a downward spiral
And
The scotch-tape isn't sticking
