Antidote

Antidote

A Poem by Haley Lynn Thomas
"

How easy it is to fall prey to the ones we love...

"
This one last time
I'll give you one last chance
We'll give it one final try
Before we say goodbye

But this time around
You won't have all my trust
I'll be a little bit smarter
And a lot warier

As easy as it would be
To fall right back into you
To get wrapped up in your embrace
I won't be heedless again

I was wiling to forgive you
For your past transgressions
The first time you promised me
That this was a new beginning

Well this time around
I'll try my hardest to resist
The temptations your smile offers
I'll keep a careful distance

Because as nice as it would be
To have back the you I love
I have no way of knowing
If this is just another trick

But this one last time
I'll give you one last chance
Because even if you're toxic to me
You're also the antidote I need
