Gentle kiss placed upon my skin,
Can't you feel the poison seeping in?
Keeping just out of reach,
I am the Garden of Eden's spoiled peach.
Through perfect poise and dark elegance,
You will pay for such foolish arrogance.
Taking my innocence you couldn't resist,
Here's to hoping you manage to cauterize your bleeding wrists.
A toast! To sin as old as time;
A praise! To execution so sublime.
Soft, beautiful and toxic after a single taste,
Darling, I am nothing more than arsenic in lace.
Super short, written in the tub very quickly. Very raw, poorly written, I know. Basically, just wanted to get some feelings out. Poetically. :D

Oh Yeah!!! Don't discount your writing... you don't need to. Especially, when you can write like that. If I didn't know any better, it reads like something I would have written... okay, since you want a little bit of constructive criticism I'll point out the ONLY thing that I'd change...
"Here's to hoping you manage to cauterize your bleeding wrists."
to...
"Here's to you, may you singe the wounds of your bleeding wrists."

Just a suggestion... it's still a beautiful piece. :)
