Adorned
as an Angel/Betrayed with a Bite
Careful
with wishes…
make
them with wisdom
else
the genie let loose
from
the bottle
might
start sucking the juice
from
your veins
like
a snake in the grass…
waiting
to attack
fangs
laced with venom
of
betrayal
serve
as a knife
with
a craving for your side
Stabbed
by the woman
who
said she’d adore you forever
(till
death do us part)
Little
whispers in your ear
come
the evening
herald
the harbinger
for
her bloodlust once scorned
Adorned
with the lips of an angel
but
hidden underneath
are
the teeth
of
a vampire eager to feast
Careful
where you lay your head to rest…
there
are weapons in every word that she hisses
