Liquid Poison

Tonya Richardson 1968 (Mississippi)



In a weak moment you were there to comfort me, with you I was anyone I wanted to be.
You filled my head with lies and false hope, everyday with you was like walking a tightrope.
You made me believe that I could handle anything with you by my side, but in reality you were nothing more than an easy place to hide.
You set out to convince me that you were all that I needed, you weren’t going to give up until you succeeded. But I was much stronger than you had anticipated, I realized that I wasn’t really happy I was just intoxicated.
All you will ever bring me is eternal strife, so I no longer have a place for you in my life.
