Your love was nothing but a bitter pill
Wrapped up in the sugary promise of things to come
Funny how I never saw through your lies
Like a naïve child taking candy from a stranger
Strangers always had the best candy, didn’t they?
Your candy coated poison was so addictive
I never realized I was hooked
I drank and drank you in
Took too much
I’m drunk on your poison
Bitter yet pure
Sour yet sweet
Your love was nothing but a bitter pill
Wrapped up in the sugary promise of things to come
Candy coated
A gauzy wrapping, too thick to swallow
I gag
Slowly asphyxiated
Everything is turning black
I’m dying, smothered by your lies
Your lies that I tried so desperately to swallow
Your love, nothing but a bitter pill
You killed me
I died
Drunk and sick
Asphyxiated by the candy coated poison
Of the one I always loved
And the one I thought loved me. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 13 [informant] => blackmarker [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Candy coated poison
Your love was nothing but a bitter pill
Wrapped up in the sugary promise of things to come
Funny how I never saw through your lies
Like a naïve child taking candy from a stranger
Strangers always had the best candy, didn’t they?
Your candy coated poison was so addictive
I never realized I was hooked
I drank and drank you in
Took too much
I’m drunk on your poison
Bitter yet pure
Sour yet sweet
Your love was nothing but a bitter pill
Wrapped up in the sugary promise of things to come
Candy coated
A gauzy wrapping, too thick to swallow
I gag
Slowly asphyxiated
Everything is turning black
I’m dying, smothered by your lies
Your lies that I tried so desperately to swallow
Your love, nothing but a bitter pill
You killed me
I died
Drunk and sick
Asphyxiated by the candy coated poison
Of the one I always loved
And the one I thought loved me.

A beautiful poem, I didnt really mind the repetition because the astounding word choice and concept made up for it.

Kisses,
