Venus Flytrap

Venus Flytrap

written by: Eric Johnson

 

There is a gleam in her eyes
Looking at me, I feel I cannot die
Emotions beaming through my mortal mind
Her absences deprive me of would-be life
She is not my breath but my very lungs
She did not steal, she became my heart
Every nerve in my body paralyzed by her toxin
The mental walls trapping me, I feel boxed in
Yet I have the key, always had, always will
But never will I choose to, unless she forces my will
