Katie Novak - Venom

So sharp it can cut through a cement wall <br />So precise it can cut it all, <br />so sharp are the words you speak, <br />The words that make my blood leak, <br />Just a few words can change it all, <br />Two words can be enough to fall, <br />So important are your words to me <br />It blinds me from what I should really see <br />Sliver the world up like a broken wood arrow, <br />Cut inside, soft as a sparrow <br />Slowly eating away my inside <br />As my conscious screams you need to hide <br />But your voice slithers inside my head <br />Threatening to bite me with venom that spreads <br />But before the thought reaches my mind <br />You speak more words and paralyze my spine, <br />I cant speak, I can’t move at all, <br />The more I try to run the more I fall, <br />I try to get away and I do as I must but then I heard the words, <br />The words I trust…. <br />And you say it, you say you love me, the venom releases almost instantly <br />I can feel it as it runs through my veins, <br />I’m not paralyzed anymore, I scream your name, <br />Because as the venom releases I see what’s inside, <br />It left a mark, a mark you can’t hide, <br />And in the corner of that dark little place, <br />I see your words I cannot erase, <br />I love you is sketched to my heart, <br />I try and try to demolish that part, <br />But as I do, and it goes a way, a piece of me, will no longer stay<br /><br />Katie Novak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/venom-17/
