Delicious Poisons Poem by Dakota Ellerton

He clutched his pillow as he held back his voice,
it will only last a moment.
The pain in his chest settled.
The medications taking it's toll now,
spreading through his body like a silent poison.
Candles flickering around his room,
shadows start dancing on the walls.
The voices have gotten louder,
telling him to keep going.
A spider hangs from the curtain,
it's seen everything.
The tears ran down his cheek without acknowledgement.
Over and over,
I replayed the same images.
It's repetitive.
So worried I'd find him laying motionless,
he'd really only fallen asleep, just as she'd said.
My heart fell to my stomach,
it was relief if ever.
Like the first breath of fresh air in a life time,
my heart started.
My face was puffy from crying,
my eyes a ruby red.
If I didnt have him...
There'd be no me.
My exhistants hangs lightly as it is,
so fragile like an Amethyst Crystal.
I'm as see-through as glass.
With words so blunt and piercing,
my heart had nearly stopped.
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think.
I'm such a hyprocrite,
maybe that's why I couldn't stay angry.
After all,
he'd had the same idea I had.
My hands trembled to see him,
I bit my lip trying not to speak.
Thank God he's alive.
