Another nightshade one lets gooo - The Biddy by Tally Hall.

Early Nightshade
(Loss of something harmful yet it still pains you)

You watch the embers glow
The little light left in your life
Left on
By your swollen eyes

A strange feeling
Has washed over you
Paining you deeply
It was not supposed to be like this

A wonderment for why
Keeps your thoughts captive
Especially as you cry
With an empty heart

You don't know why
You feel like this
When you got rid
Of the parasites that had you bedridden

Why does your body react this way

You watch the embers glow
A hand curled in a fist
Your resentment overbearing
A sadness underlining

You are angry 
From the chaos they caused
The wretched people
That made you fall

It isn't supposed to be like this
Tears staining your cheeks
A steak knife to the chest
Where they used to be

You're tired
From the pain they inflicted
And sad
From the absence of their presence

Why does your body react this way

You watch the embers glow
An early nightshade
That blooms from their blood
You cry, missing them

It was not supposed to be like this
When you got rid of them
You weren't supposed to be pained
Not from an early nightshade
