A poison

[soonforgotten?]

"Bottled elixir", "Poison",... starting to think this forum is sponsored by AA. Anyway... your idea has potential.

Plunging deeper for a reason, reaching for the Void,
For the Void has claimed a deeper completely agree with Mr. Kitchens power through a poison,
Poison that was bought upon a fancy, and I call upon the Name--
Save her from the merciless Void,

Reaching to my friend as the poison called her name,
Poison that was killing, leaving nothing but a shell,
Called upon the Name, as I called upon her name,
Nothing from the Name, no mercy from the Void,

Claimed upon my heart, she had--her poison claiming her--
Claiming treasured friends, this poison had,
Slowly killing, taking my treasured friend,
Now I weep for the mercy call,

All my dreams are now asunder, all my hopes have been dashed,
Dashed against the stones, of which these broken bones completely agree with Mr. Kitchens, the phrase makes no sense and you should never let this happen to you, leave a phrase half done like this,
Laid upon a heap of weeping souls,
Weeping for the mercy cold.

I don't necessarily agree with the previous comment when it comes to switching focus from your friend to yourself. You wrote "Claimed upon my heart, she had--her poison claiming her--" and that lets me think that you love this person, and thus her degenerating will also affect you. Feel free though, to expand this idea more, making it even clearer.

In the last stanza, for instance, you could write "our" instead of "my", suggesting you had a special relationship to this person; however, your common dreams for the future have now been trashed against the stones...

I salute you for writing about a serious topic and making a point. Thank you for the read!
