'Pretty Poison' Poem by Linda Winchell

My name is, 'Pretty Poison'
Come and take a BIG sip of me.
For once I've passed by your lips
You'll want another taste, you'll see.

My taste at first is sweet as honey
Then as it travels is bitter and may burn.
But it will send you on a high like none other
Which hasn't an exit for your return.

My name is, 'Pretty Poison'
You may know me by a different name.
But no matter what you call me friend
The results are all still the same.

I'll hook you once you partake of me
And you would kill to get much more of me.
My name is, 'Pretty Poison'
And I am the only one you'll ever want to see.

You will feel my warmth coursing through your veins
From the tip of your head, down to your toes.
You need'nt use a needle with me to fly
Or even sniff me up your nose.

My name is, 'Pretty Poison'
You may know me by a different name.
But whatever you want to call me friend
Your life is mine now
and you'll never, ever be the same!
