Venom Poem by Javier Falcon

You speak words which kill,
those which should not be heard,
'I am leaving and might not return, '
words which are venomous.

As my veins seem poisoned,
I lay back and wait for the end,
everything seeming to fade away,
and others begin to appear.

I see times which passed by long ago,
hallucinations of when we were in love,
as we cuddled and kissed in the alley,
as I snap out of it and see total darkness.

Then soon after the pain seeps in,
crushing all which is inside me,
as I unleash a weep and begin to cry,
trying to hold hope as life slips by.

As this keeps circulating my body,
consuming all which is in me,
it makes easy disposal of me completely,
letting my body become a chasm.

As you, my only choice of survival leaves,
my chances of living perish away with my hopes,
you, being the only one able to take away this venom,
as you turn your back on me, leaving me here to die.
