As much as i fantasise about my death,
I am drawn back to the garden of misery,
the poison ivy.

Tangled in the vines, in the web,
the trees are now my friends.
fold, as the spider closes in.
The thorns of the vines tighten and dig in,
into my skin.

Cold as a kiss from the wind.
Another drag on this cigarette,
the smoke swirling like a marionette.

Cold as a kiss from the wind,
fold as the spider closes in.
The trees are now my friends and anima peace pretends.
numb, as the poison on my skin.

the poison.
