Forest's Call
By Robin D

The forest's call is intoxicating
And I can hear her welcoming song
Ready to embrace me
And allow me to forget
But I can feel the claws
Barely hidden beneath the bush
Ready to tear me asunder
But her intoxicating love
Oh how it calls to me
Her lips as green as poison
Ready to take me away
And into nothing
Because the medication that gives me life
Is the same that will kill me
Once I drink her intoxicating world
The world which calls to me
Oh so gently
I want to say yes
I need to say no
I stay silent
