Bittersweet Nightshade

first poem <3

—————————

You remind me of bittersweet nightshade,

The red berries tempt me to indulge

The same way I did with your lips,

Devouring you

Ignoring your bitterness,

I consumed you ravenously,

Desperate for satisfaction,

Starvation spilling from my tongue

And despite your sweet aftertaste

clinging to my throat,

I can feel the burn of your poison

biting at my veins
