Lethal Words

In the lexicon's depths, where danger hides,
Lie words that pierce, like daggers' sharpened sides.
But amidst the threats, a beacon bright,
A message that fills the soul with light.

'I love you,' they whisper, soft and low,
Yet hold a power that sets the heart aglow.
A lethal dose, a poison sweet and true,
That binds two souls, forever old and new.

Though danger lurks within these words so bold,
Their meaning far outweighs the risks they hold.
For love's a force that conquers all,
A flame that burns, defying every fall.

So take these words, my dearest one, with care,
For they contain a love beyond compare.
A lethal message, meant to pierce your heart,
And leave a mark that time will never part.

I love you, more than words can ever say,
A love that's meant to last each passing day.
So heed this warning, and embrace the truth,
For in these lethal words, I find my proof.
