a deathly kiss (from herbal tea)

with such a deathly kiss from herbal tea
i'll drink as willingly as you would want
my thoughts are only of both you and me
and feeling little doubt while nonchalant
i'll serve you satisfaction as i touch
my lips against the warmth, against my zeal
i'll always love you, though i know this much
you've yearned to poison me with such appeal
i can't say i'm surprised at your dark aim
i doubt i had a chance to stay with you
when you are so involved, another game
with one more other waiting for my cue

i take that drink while knowing your intent
my eyes glaze over to love's sweet lament
