Symptoms of a Snake Bite
I remember seeing you from across the room for the first time in months
My heart was racing, painfully beating
My vision was blurred, spinning and swinging
I remember sweating and feeling nauseous
Weak and numb at the knees
And I was afraid
Afraid it meant I still loved you
That I still desired your touch
Your kiss
Your bite
Your sting
But I guess it’s no coincidence
That love and venom
Have the same affect on the body.
That Love and Venom
Can kill a man
