poison control, the beauty beneath

the undead soul
the essence of the monster
the absolute core
is the beauty beneath

your only desire is to rid the world of me
but i control your poison
and your beauty beneath
the small forgotten touch of me
the memory blazes in you
you couldn't possibly forget
not even if you wanted to

the events that have shaped themselves in turn have shaped us
our shared lives have ingrained the concept
it cannot be lied to, it cannot be mislead
it itches, burns even

poison control

my scent is there, somewhere, under your skin and in you
you couldn't possibly forget
not even if you wanted to
you and your conflicted soul
drown in it
