Slither.

By Dreamless








Your lips
Turbulent and turbid
Misleading...
Pathological...
Perfect

Licking the wound
Cleansing
Or so they said
As your tongue...
Slithers...

Snake...
Hissing promises
Coiling around my core
Strangling my heart
Empress of necrosis

Dressed in ecstacy
Eyes of sin
Clawing my soul
Raising your gown
As you lure me in

And I cannot escape
This web...
Sweet deceit
Draining me
And leaving me to rot
