Slow Poison

How foolish was I 

to think 

what we had was love.

When in-fact 

you crept into my life

and infected my mind.

Held my heart in your hands

and filled it with hate.

Crumpled my soul

and threw it in a wastebasket.

Next to my hopes,

my dreams.

The hardest part

was when 

you convinced me

I did it to myself.
