Snake's sly venom seeps into my veins;

Hairs quickly stand on the back of my spine.

It feels like I'm paralyzed from the pain;

This continues to happen time after time.

 

But thoughts are the actual murderers;

They have no remorse slowly killing me.

They steal my happiness like burglars,

And I used to think thoughts set someone free.

 

I try to remove them but they're infinite.

Just one shot is all that it will take;

The clock ticks with every passing minute,

But then I realize what is at stake.

 

And the reason all of these feelings brew,

are absolutely because of you.

This sonnet is so intriguing; you were able to fit so much into just 14 lines and that takes skill. Thank you for sharing this poem :D
