Poison and Peace

You watch me break as you deliver the final blow,
The love-laced poison you offer, fast and slow,


I crumble as it falls, everything you and I ever built,
In an instant your arms reach out, ridden with guilt,


My heart shattered, but with my pride, on my feet I stand,
Turn away now, take back your outstretched hand,


Peace I shall make with all my pain,
But tell me, love, with your sins if you can?
