Lovely Poison
I close my eyes and allow my mind to wander
My thoughts dwell on you for far too long
I allow my brain to recall every moment, every encounter with you
You are like poison entering my bloodstream and intoxicating me with your lovely presence
But I know it is not truly you who I am attached to
I am so infatuated with this idea of you that I have mixed up desire and love
Why is it that I can’t control my emotions and my thoughts are consumed by you?
Why is it that I feel such strong emotions for another?
How can one feel a certain way?
How can one let their emotions get this far?
For another who doesn’t know of my existence
I feel weak and fragile for letting myself become like this
I know you are wrong for me
You are my poison and I just can’t get enough
But I know this cannot last
I am not the sun therefore I am not for you

This piece is all about unrequited love. The person is so infatuated with a person that it becomes like poison. It's not healthy but the person can't stop themselves or stay away. The last line is extremely crucial for this one-sided love. It demonstrates that it will never work because the person they are infatuated with is like the sun - the center of everything and radiating brightness. This person does not have those attributes and therefore doesn't feel like they can ever be good enough for the person they desire.
