Tracy

By Malice In Wonderland

she is
...hemlock

Surrounded by sweet dreams  
and subtle surreality
She 
Is serpentine
Wrapped secret savagery

Only shedding skins
at the moment of her kill
The gnarled root of her soul pouring forth
ash and desolation
She is
Sweet tempered destruction

And she 

Will 
Bleed 
You 
Dry.
