And as he held me in his arms, he whispered in my ear "I love you"
And I was henceforth infected with a poison, this poison called love

There is no cure for this toxin, once you're infected, it's over
It spreads through your body within seconds, there's no control
It targets your organs, the brain, you lungs, your heart, your eyes, all of it
Its exacerbated if you remain around the one who infected you, growing ever stronger

Your brain becomes intoxicated, drunk with images of him.
He's all you think of, all you dream of, and all that you desire
Your lungs fail you, the air you breathe is no longer safe
He becomes the very air you need to breathe; desire grows
Your skin aches, longing for the very sensation of his touch
Sensations are dulled because of it, you NEED him to make you feel alive
Body overwhelmed, desire and longing for nothing but him
Feeling frail and vulnerable without him
You are intoxicated, helpless to the poison you let yourself succumb to.

In his waking presence, the toxin hastens your destruction
When he touches you, your skin crawls in coldness
Yet when he kisses you, warmth fills your very soul
His gaze is deadly, shattering bouts of fear, melting you from the inside
His words are sharp, piercing the veil which you try to hide from
Rendering you senseless, a mortal at the whim of a mighty god

This poison is wretched from the depths of Pandora's Box.
Upon injection and infection, the outcomes are devastating.
It can corrode and corrupt the body into a stringed puppet,
Only to be desired by condescending fishmongers wanting your body.
It can leave you broken and dismay, robbed of all hope, suicidal
It can break you into your own worst enemy you swore to never become
But, alas, through the endless eternities of monsters and nightmares, there is still that speck of hope
The tiny speck of light that turns the poison into a wonderful corruption
Leaving you riddled in happiness and joy.
Either way, its life-changing, for the good or for the bad.
