Arsenic and Cyanide.

You were the arsenic
I the cyanide.
Poison upon poison
or side by side.

Bitterness and loathing
with strangling roots.
Crushing the tree
devouring it's fruits.

You were King Cobra
I the hissing viper.
You the magician
I the pied piper.

You the mastermind
I the accomplice
Conspiring to kill our bond
was all we could accomplish.

You the smoking gun
I the steaming sword.
We executed our love
then toasted the word.

You the razor,
I the rope.
We hung ourselves
when we severed
all hope.

J.E.P Wilson.
