Poison

(Colby, Wisconsin)

The teenage years can be as hard as walking on water, almost impossible at times. You let your guard down because you "fall in love," you let the person have the opportunity to do whatever they wish to your heart. On the outside all is good but slowly seeping into your veins is a black poison that if provoked will never be stopped until it runs its course and fully breaks your heart. Slowly it starts creeping through your veins towards your heart until...... your heart stops beating and runs black with poison and is heart broken and will never be capable of truly loving anyone or anything again for all eternity.
