opium laced kisses
stab into my chest
i smile through the pain
and cry through the rest
because at my best
im lost
just a recovering addict
gazing up at the heavens
hoping for escape
longing for one more taste
of an opium laced kiss
that will set me free
and entangle me
in the soft delicacy
of realities forgotten
and dreams envisioned anew
all due to the fact
that in the shadows
of my mind
im simply blind
to the chaotic beauty
that are both
yours and mine
but only acknowledged
through the sweet treachery
of opium laced kisses
that tear us apart
and eat away at the soft tissue
that was forged with you
in the depths of the shadows
and forgotten in the midst of the day
to be easily washed away
by you and me
who both longed for opium laced kisses
and the remedy
