Cup of poison

You were my cup of poison
A punishment of trust.
I drank you in so thirstily
just to sate my lust.

You were my broken cup
chipped, cracked and leaking.
I could never fill you up
or find what you were seeking.

My lips were parched
you were warm and wet.
I was drunk on love
as I took my first sip of regret.

That left a bad taste in my mouth
turned me sour and left me bitter!
But the more I felt hollow,
the more I would swallow not to be a quitter.


It inflamed my heart
and infected my brain
tore my insides apart
and then did it again.

I bounced and rebounded
off the walls then crashed
and awoke to discover
my cup was smashed.

Hungover from love
I hid under cover
Until you lifted the lid
and poured me another.
